Rough & Ready Shorts is an unusual assortment of short films which explore everything from Zombies in the closet, to time travel to unedited, public sexual acts. Adult fair that intrigues and amuses.

"Clapham Junction"

Clapham Junction is a poignant, smart and often disturbing look at the muddled, intertwining lives of a group of gay men in South Clapham, England. The ensemble piece is incredibly well executed from script to performance to cinematography. It will make you cringe at just how small the world can be.
