Short Film Review: Johnny Be Good. Directed by Chase Ramsey, Johnny Hebda
Gay relationships are messy. Let’s be real—between the swipe-left culture, hookup apps on every corner, and the glorification of open relationships, monogamy gets treated like some dusty relic from the past. But why should queer couples chain themselves to “traditional” rules that weren’t even made for us? Who actually wants to settle for a relationship that feels like a straight, invented by straights, cookie-cutter cage dressed up as commitment?

Review by Julie C. Sheppard:
Short film Johnny Be Good is a thoughtful exploration of a gay couple within a culture of open relationships. Through stirring and often edgy narration, the story unfolds as a gay man finds himself desperately enamored with another.
The film opens with a spirited gay bar scene. The sexy wardrobe, the upbeat synth music and the dim, smoky air with disco ball shards of light really capture the passion and excitement of happy, flirtatious gay men having a blast. As the film plays out, gorgeous slow-motion montages of the two main characters spending quality moments together seemingly reveal their genuine feelings for one another.
The screenplay is brilliant in its rapid segway to misery and revenge. The dizzying camera work and biting on screen text show the inner workings of the lead’s feelings of hurt and betrayal, and the desire for vengeance. This film underscores the human need for connection, but it proves that this can mean different things to different people – – in this case, in gay relationships – – which makes the film all the more nuanced and sophisticated.
Short Film Review: Before They Forget. Directed by Teresa Garza
In a dystopian future where families are torn apart, a mother is granted one annual reunion with a digital simulation of her child — a fragile ritual that tests the limits of memory and love.
Review by Andie Kay:
Writer/Director Teresa Garza brings us this sci-fi short film that is very Black Mirror-esque. Our memories are so precious to us, they remind us of good and bad times and even can bring us serenity in a turbulent world.
The story was engaging and drops you right into a very tense, uncomfortable situation. Teresa provided a great twist at the end but if you don’t read the summary prior to watching the film, you might be a little confused. I just wish we were given a set-up of what and why the Family Services Division was abducting people.
Casting for this was amazing, every actor did such a wonderful job. They were believable, organic and it drew the viewer into the story even more. The way the filmmakers incorporated the computerized voice over was fantastic and brought in a sense of reality, like this could actually happen.
Jorge Palomo handled the score, editing and cinematography for the film and the music was a wonderful addition. The cinematography was really well done and the work with special effects added a seamless futuristic element.
