"Love at first sight, one night, down at Silverror’s Saloon!" Mickey R. Mahoney and jonCates direct Silverror’s Saloon, the next film in the 鬼鎮 (Ghosttown) Glitch Western series of films and games. Written by Emily Mercedes Rich and jonCates, this experimental film queers, glitches, and questions the Western film genre. We encounter characters caught in a glitched cinematic magic moment: a love scene. First dance with a stranger. Home and far from home. Flicker, flower, bloom, and dissolve, in a poetry film.
Self - Educator / Filmmaker
An investigation of how Hollywood's fabled stories have deeply influenced how Americans feel about transgender people, and how transgender people have been taught to feel about themselves.
The Undergrad is a sexy, gender-twisting parody of the 1967 classic "The Graduate." This playful celebration of both gender and sexual liberation investigates the choice of deviance, desire, and acceptance. The film follows Ben, who is lost at the brink of adulthood and mystified by his own growing desires as he finds himself in a new life of secrecy, submission, confusion, and confidence.
