You Were My First Boyfriend
In this high school reunion movie turned inside out, filmmaker Cecilia Aldarondo circles back to her tortured adolescence, wondering if she remembered it all wrong. Oscillating between present-day, real-world encounters and fantastical re-stagings of her most primal teen memories, YOU WERE MY FIRST BOYFRIEND is a hybrid documentary that explores growing older and making peace with the things that haunt us.

When a widow and widower, both artists, meet on a vacation tour, they start a tale that dreams are made of. Although their interest in art provides a strong bond, it is their differences which bring a fresh, lively element to their marriage and the film.

Your Fat Friend
A film about fatness, family, the complexities of change and the deep, messy feeling we hold about our bodies.
