Beach Logs Kill

Meet the Filmmaker

Haley Z. Boston

Writer/Director
Synopsis
BEACH LOGS KILL is a surrealist daydream-slash-nightmare set in the heightened reality of a teen girl’s mind – a girl who has a burning crush on the school’s celebrated star quarterback, also a girl. The film is a hallucinogenic exploration of the age-old question that frequently complicates a young queer person’s life – do I want to be them, or be inside of them? The answer is not so cut-and-dry, and neither is life, and neither is this film.

Sylvia

Meet the Filmmaker

Tara Ayeni

Writer/Director
Synopsis
When best friends Anita, Kemi and Emma cross paths with new girl and bully-magnet, Sylvia, they do not make her life any easier. Lies and gossip spin like webs and stick faster than a witch's curse. Driven by their own insecurities and hardships the trio commit to making Sylvia's life a living hell. After all, it is easy to kick someone who is already down. Just pray that someone doesn't learn to stand. Pray even harder that they don't realise their own power.

Tiptoeing the very fine line between comedy and horror 'Sylvia' is a devilish dive into the 90's and the lives of a group of particularly nasty mean girls as they juggle puberty, heartbreak and superstition. At a time teetering on the cusp of the social media revolution this short offers a uniquely nostalgic glimpse into the world these inner-city kids hail from.
