Summary

Our second Micro Queers short this month is Griffica (2021), written and directed by CJ Arellano. This short is unique because it's told entirely in voice over, which we praise for allowing us to focus on the clean, modern visuals. Is the idea of a boyfriend so perfect he must be demon appeal more to gay men and our stunted development? We debate! Questions? Comments? Snark?

Indeed.

1:06.1

Yeah, so obviously we try to prioritize queer horror shorts that are publicly available on Vimeo or YouTube, but we resent this one by the writer-director, so we decided, you know

1:13.6

what, we can give a shout out. Deco's doing some of the good work, and obviously, folks,

1:17.6

if you have never signed up for a free trial on Deco, if you go on there, you can see a bunch

of different queer horror shorts as well as TV shows and other things. But if you do so that

1:47.3

It's, again, you're not going to get a lot of gore in this, but it really, to me, spoke
