Films:

Daddy Issues — Narrative Short (USA)

4:41 — Stephanie Chloe

Matt Campanella and Stephanie Chloé Hepner’s short comedy Daddy Issues features a particularly awkward encounter in circumstances which all the more difficult because the young dominant involved in the scene is on probation in a new job, trying hard to impress the boss. He’s spent a long time getting ready, making sure that his appearance is perfect, and it’s really just bad luck that things turn out as they do.

Daddy Issues raises questions about human interaction after a period of intimacy is over, and the intensity of the moment has given way to a longing to... forget!
