Valencia is a collaboration between a national community of queer filmmakers to adapt the underground classic memoir into a kaleidoscopic vision of San Francisco's Mission District in the early 90s during the rise of a punk lesbian diaspora told through the experiences of Michelle, a single rootless twenty-something searching for sex and love, drugs and adventure.

Criminal Queers visualizes a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex and toward a world without walls.

Falling in Love… is a situation comedy about a gay odd couple, one liberal, one radical; one transgender, one not. They don’t have a whole lot in common, but somehow they manage. In this episode, Chris and Greg compete on a reality television show to be “The Next Great Artist.” The challenge: “Create a successful piece of queer art about failure.” Can they make it through a double elimination?

Extraordinary Pregnancies revisits the "First" Pregnant Man, Thomas Beatie and his wife Nancy, rescripting their vulnerable yet guarded interviews with the big shots of tabloid media.
