SHORT FILMS

Good Morning (2014)

Good Morning is a comic examination of ideas of sexual identity and age anxiety via the story of a man (Peter Knegt) who — on the morning after his 30th birthday party — wakes up with both a massive hangover and a 17-year-old boy (Oliver Skinner) sleeping on his couch. Made with a tiny crew over a weekend in Montreal, the short screened at over 30 film festivals around the world, and gained an unexpected cult following among gay youth in China.
