Exploring themes of identity, cultural displacement, and the universal need for connection and feeling “at home” in the world, COMRADES follows Don, a queer Chinese American man, who moves to China to reconnect with his roots. An unexpected reunion with a college acquaintance leads Don to discover that true belonging comes not from a specific place but through self-acceptance and with those who will embrace him wholly.

The Window Affair tells a story of art and love during a global pandemic, reimagining Shakespeare’s Romeo and Ophelia in a modern world. Haunted by memories of her musician ex-boyfriend Denny, nightclub singer Rosemary attempts to compose her own song. On the neighboring fire-escape, window-cleaner Romeo escapes his day job and his nurse wife Lina by writing poetry. When Romeo and Rosemary begin to share words and music, they discover both artistic inspiration and a long-awaited antidote to loneliness.
