Today we’re showcasing Why Does God Hate Me, which despite the rather angsty title is actually a bit of a comedy – although with a serious message mixed in. The Canadian short had a hugely successful run at film festivals in 2012, winning numerous awards before it debuted online.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘A coming-of-age comedy about Matthew, a 14-year-old boy living in a very religious town, whose best friend Ester tries to ‘cure’ him of being gay. But a trip to San Francisco shows Matthew that he might not be the one who needs curing.’
You can watch Joel Ashton McCarthy’s complete short film below, and it’s well worth a look.
