Dear Diary Dear Diary

Dear Diary

A woman cleaning out her childhood room is uncomfortable with facing her past self. The old diary that she disregards magically finds its way back to her, echoing the voice of her childhood self.
She catches the diary as it's falling and is whirled into her diary world, pages spiraling around her. She runs away from different pages/environments personifying her previous insecurities projected by society.

She's The Protagonist She's The Protagonist

She's The Protagonist

The Protagonist, by her given name, is presented to us in her natural environment : a jungle, sadly, often lacking in density. But today enough is enough! Being the mother, the secretary, the lover, the nanny, the baby bottle, the side piece of the main male character is no longer enough for our dear Protagonist! Put on "mute" after the allocated time for female* characters in a film was reached, she runs away with her friend Voice-Over for a new journey with plenty of humor.

DIVR DIVR

DIVR

Rebecca Zhao, Sula Barkin, and McQueen de la Cruz are on top of the world. When their casual-sex app for queer women, DIVR, becomes a breakout hit, the three college buds find themselves hailed as icons of progress, representing the entire queer community in their success. But behind the scenes, things are a little more complicated: Sula has been secretly dating a straight man, McQueen has been hiding a realization about their true gender identity out of fear that it will make their “by queer women, for queer women brand” appear to be a fraud, and Rebecca, who suffers from bipolar disorder, is about to buckle under the pressure.

Icons aren’t supposed to break, or lie, or be anything other than what those they represent want them to be. As the three friends struggle to decide between the roles they play and the realities they live, it becomes clear that nothing--not even the high ground--comes without a cost.

When Nate is out of the picture, the two women reconnect and can’t help but fall back into old rhythms. For better or for worse...
