We're very excited to be offering you this special collection of short films by the award-winning filmmaker J.T. Tepnapa whose smash-hit feature debut film Judas Kiss stars Charlie David and Sean Paul Lockhart.

Sunflowers.

An original director's cut never before seen. With non-linear story telling, the film includes ten extra minutes of original footage. A first from the Tepnapa Team, Sunflower tells the story of Devon and his new beau learning the lessons of relationships through communication, intimacy, quarrels, and forgiveness. Sunflower a delightful movie about growing up.

Masturbation: Putting the Fun into Self-Loving

Winner of seven awards including Planet Out's Best Comedy award is one of the best festival shorts of 2002. Dr. Sigmund Winston, along with the help of his trusty sidekick Billy, teaches the students of the '50s how to put more excitement into self-loving. Boys from the local YMCA and visual aids give the audience a simple step-by-step approach to loving themselves.

Drag Queen Heist

Winner of Ft. Worth's Best Gay Short comes a delightful comedy about the robbing adventures of Bobby and Jared. Jared comes up with an infallible plan to rob the 2nd Fidelity Bank as women. Regrettably Jared's boyfriend and co-conspirator, Bobby, is anything but infallible. Watch this heist unravel like a cheap weave!

Begging for Change

Another Fort Worth winner, this time for Best Dramatic Short. Two universes unfold from a coin toss, leading a homeless teen on parallel paths of redemption and desperation. Will either path take him home?

BONUS SHORT: And The Award Goes to...

Another parody looking into the life of the filmmaker and festival hit, Masturbation: Putting the Fun into Self-loving. In this parody, J.T. Tepnapa is nominated for Best Short Film on Hollywood's biggest night. But behind the "thank yous" and lies on stage, hides the true Hollywood story. How do movies really get made?
