After the last two entries, you must think I am tired of gay shorts. . . and to be quite honest, I kind of am. But these films were a nice break from the poor production quality or the slightly experimental approach common in most short films. They were interesting to watch and at times rather insightful into the motifs of acceptance and genuine affection. Definitely worth watching and renting.
