out of reach. There were still holes where the climbing ropes once hung. Young boys climbed to the top against all odds. Gravity pulling them down towards the earth where they belonged. I looked over at June‚ sleeping peacefully. And then over to Moira‚ neither of them would ever know why I disappeared that night. I slowly got up and arranged my pillows to look like a sleeping body.

You hear stories all over the news about people stepping out and helping strangers they have never met a

Dyke Hard is a celebratory pastiche of multiple B-movies and genre films‚ exploiting their tropes and clichés in a wild LGBT party of a film. Inspired in part by the work of John Waters‚ it gives a nod to a dynamic and creative underground of the pre-digital past – a time when political incorrectness and trash rhymed with transgression and carried real meaning and clout.
