Bedfellows (Pierre Stefanos, U.S., 2010 15 min.):

Deidre (Cyra Polizzi, U.S., 2010, 5 min.):

Gaysharktank.com (Guy Shalem, U.S., 2010, 15 min.):
In early 2010, chatroulette.com, a Web site that allows people to meet strangers via Web cam, became an Internet sensation. "Gaysharktank.com" is about a gay version of the site, recording the interactions of 25 strangers on the hunt for love and lust.
Masala Mama (Michael Kam, Singapore, 2010, 8 min.):
The young son of a poor ragman aspires to draw superheroes but goes about it the wrong way by stealing a comic book from the gentle owner of a small Indian provision ("mama") shop. When fate brings the thief and shop owner together again, they each discover the importance of not judging people by their appearances.
Never Too Late (Wendy Weinberg, U.S., 2010, 8 min.):
This clever short uses archival film and television footage to tell the story of two hotel maids who have lived together in San Francisco for 25 years.

Must they head east in search of equality?

Nathan, a devout Christian and closeted homosexual, is in charge of editing commercials in favor of Proposition 8 for the church where he is employed.
