Logline

This short film celebrates queer friendship as a source of joy and support, set against Berlin’s vibrant queer scene. Based on real stories, it follows a diverse friend group in their 20s, offering snapshots of their lives and connections within the city.

Idea

In this short film project we want to showcase the importance and explore the nature of queer friendship. To us, queerness is something that transcends borders and generations, while friendship can be a lifeline for many queer people. While we don’t want to portray a utopia, it’s very important to us for this project to focus on queer joy. The film will be about 5-10 minutes long and based on real experiences of queer people in Berlin, to collect which we will create questionnaires and conduct interviews. As an international hub with a variety of queer spaces and communities, Berlin itself should play an important role in the film. The plot will revolve around a friend group of 4-5 characters in their 20s, who come from different backgrounds. While navigating their lives, they found comfort in each other and this city.  The film will explore the dynamics between each character and the whole group and should function as a snapshots of the character’s lives.

State of the project

At the moment we are in the very beginnings of pre-production, collecting useful information, networking and starting to work on our screenplay. We want to meet about once/twice a month for writing sessions and to collect ideas.

Ideally we want to film in late spring or early autumn of 2025.

Team

While we strive for a predominantly queer and international team,  welcome everyone who is interested in any capacity. Just fill out the form and we will contact you. We’re excited to meet you all! <3
