WHERE THE HEART LEADS: Cisgender and Trans Male and Female Shorts, 101 minutes
We have all experienced the pull of the heart—a new crush, an ex, someone we can’t have, a family member who doesn’t understand, a friend we’re afraid to come out to. This group of short films will show that where the heart leads, we frequently follow, whether happiness or heartbreak is the end result.
