Awakenings – Shorts Program

  • $10.00
    • online closed. tickets available at box office
  • Multiple Directors
  • 5 Short Films

This sultry and sexy program of men’s shorts starts with one of the most genius films of the year, David Quantic’s ‘Transatlantic,’ where waking and sleeping must be done at exact times, and gifts sent long distances carry profound meaning.  Of the five senses, smell elevates the blood and the hormones of a simple man on the street in ‘Scent.’ From overseas to a Broadway bang as Mark awakens to his career talent quite early in life, and turns into one of the most famous impersonators alive In ‘Get Happy.’  Two men are not dreaming when they fear ‘Somebody is Watching Us,’ as they are forced to hide their sexual trysts. The program finishes with an entire family ‘Awakening’ to hushed secrets when a sexy young man enters their lives and changes them forever…especially a devoted father who has an intense sexual secret of his own.
