Egghead & Twinkie
Freshly out of the closet and heading to college in the fall, teenage animator Twinkie convinces her BFF Egghead to come along on a cross-country road trip to meet her Insta-famous crush in person for the very first time. Bursting with colorful animation, hilarious hijinks, and kinetic comic book flourishes, Egghead & Twinkie is a heartwarmingly sincere directorial debut about embracing your identity and the ups and downs of best friendship.

The Stranger
Chaotically cute and queer! Think 'Scott Pilgrim' but gayer.
