The Homiesexuals: A Social Media Tragedy
When Tripp Taylor, an attractive and queer-presenting Tik Toker, is attacked in a possible hate crime, the internet reaction grows from supportive to increasingly hostile, sparking a conversation on queerbaiting and straight male worship in the age of cancel culture and Gen Z activism. An experimental and ensemble-based short film intended to be viewed on a phone, The Homiesexuals explores the avalanche of online discourse and nuanced activism through TikToks, Facetimes, comment sections, and a myriad of other internet informational screentimes that have become our main source of connection.
