And Then There Was Him (LGBT+ Short Film)

About: Logline: After years of being a homophobic bully, a torn, young man visits a local gay bar for the first time.

Synopsis: Michael, for years traumatized by his homophobic father, walks up the street to the entrance of a local gay bar. Afraid to go in at first because to walk in would be to admit to himself and to others that he is gay.

On entering the loud busy gay bar on a fancy dress night, he quickly meets Logan, a handsome regular at the bar, dressed as an 'Angel'. They chat and start to get to know each other until rudely interrupted by Simon, someone Michael used to bully at school for being gay.

Michael tries to leave but Logan takes him onto the dance floor. Just before his first kiss with Logan, Simon, still angry interrupts them. Michael goes and hides from Simon in the toilets, where Logan follows him. They exchange a passionate first kiss and decide to go back to Logan's place, but as they leave the toilet cubicle, they bump into two men embraced at the urinals. To Michael's amazement, one of the men is his father
