Who said cinema can’t be hilarious and insightful? This comedy block promises dark, witty takes on messy relationships and social anxieties. “Juana Pelos” captures the awkward and rebellious phase of puberty when a young girl contends with body hair, while “#1 BAD DAD” introduces us to a former villain forced into the most mundane and challenging role of all: fatherhood.
Keep an eye out for “Mean Goals,” a heartwarming film about an “adorkable” gay Latino joining an LGBTQ soccer team to bond with his father, and the class-conscious romance of “Some Of Us Watch The Sunset, Too,” where a great new relationship is threatened when one partner discovers the other’s massive wealth. Prepare to laugh, because these shorts hit close to home.
