The multi-award winning 2011 LGBT-themed short Trunks is based on an odd but intriguing idea, where a man feels straight when he’s on land, but gay when he’s in the local swimming pool. But will he tell his ex-girlfriend the whole truth?
The film won Best Short Film at the Northern Nights Film Festival, London; Best Experimental Film at the Limelight Awards 2012; and Best Screenplay at the Van d’Or Independent Film Awards 2012, so it’s certainly had some love.
You can take a look at it below (and as director David Hewitt points out on the video’s Vimeo page, it’s never made any money – gay short films rarely do, no matter how good they are – so if you want to tip him, you can do it there).
