Self
레즈비언들이 자신의 이야기를 늘 영화에서 볼 수 있었던 것은 아니다. 1970년대 레즈비언들은 스톤월 해방과 페미니즘 운동, 실험적인 영화제작을 통해 퀴어를 가시화하고 사회적 상상력을 확장했다. 초창기 소외된 하위문화로서의 퀴어영화, 1990년대 '뉴 퀴어 시네마', 그리고 최근까지 퀴어영화의 전 역사를 다루는 이 다큐멘터리는 인터뷰를 통해 영화제작자와 평론가들의 감동적이고 유쾌한 이야기를 전하며, 섹슈얼리티와 젠더를 재현하는 미디어의 역할이 얼마나 중요한지 역설한다.
Tooth and Nail
Executive Producer
A dysfunctional family reunites after the son, Matt, is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Matt and his sister Kate make a pact. He agrees to give her his sperm for future use with a partner if she agrees to come out to the family that night.

The Circuit
Angie
Newly arrived in town Nat and Gabe accept a dinner invitation from the volatile Hungarian Helene and her boorish husband Sasha. Whilst the other guests, ex-Bananarama member Marty, Angie, who 'makes bullets' and the supposedly suicidal Danny are affable enough, Nat and Gabe are shocked by their hosts' very public rows and Gabe's attempt at peace-making is awkwardly received. Nat is taken aback when virtual stranger Helene confides in her about Sasha's suspected infidelity and Gabe is rudely rebuffed when he tries to have a heart to heart with Sasha. After Helene physically attacks her husband the newcomers are desperate to leave but when Danny drops a bombshell Gabe is torn between responsibility and the easy way out.
Appropriate Behavior
Shirin
For Shirin, being part of a perfect Persian family isn't easy. Acceptance eludes her from all sides: her family doesn't know she's bisexual, and her ex-girlfriend, Maxine, can't understand why she doesn't tell them. Even the six-year-old boys in her moviemaking class are too ADD to focus on her for more than a second. Following a family announcement of her brother's betrothal to a parentally approved Iranian prize catch, Shirin embarks on a private rebellion involving a series of bisexual escapades, while trying to decipher what went wrong with Maxine.
