HBO's GLBT SHOUT short films available on demand

I'm sure this will be a hectic weekend with endless Pride events stretching from New York City to San Francisco. But make sure you take a moment to check out HBO On Demand and watch SHOUT: The HBO GLBT Short Film Competition. It's like American Idol — the gay film edition!

HBO partnered with Outfest and created an LGBT short film competition, which resulted in over 600 submissions from across the globe. Four amazing directors were awarded $15,000 each to produce their own short film to be featured on HBO. Here are the films:

“Donny and Ginger”, by Jon Bush

A dark drama about a lonely cop and a drag queen prostitute he meets on a desolate street corner late one night.

“Happenstance”, by Joyce Draganosky

Beth finds out that she has a lot in common with Samantha, her son’s new girlfriend at a family dinner.

“Hearts and Hotel Rooms”, by Justin James (My personal favorite!)

Brian and Jimmy go their separate ways after an unforgettable night. Will their hearts lead them to each other again?

“Daddy”, by Sid Karger

A one-night stand leaves Wayne with a strange and hilarious craving for ice cream and shrimp. He learns what to expect when he’s expecting!

If you miss it this weekend you can catch them all on HBO On Demand until July 2nd. And check out the behind-the-scenes trailer after the jump!
