Slightly Off Shorts Block #9

SLIGHTLY OFF SHORTS BLOCK #9

SCREENING SATURDAY AUGUST 9, 2025 AT 7:00 PM


 Nothing is quite what it seems in this set of local shorts. Panic attacks turn into dreamscapes, tech toys get too honest, and even a hitman just wants a peaceful day at work. Whether navigating grief, sexuality, surveillance, or an unhinged night shift, these characters all share one thing - the feeling that reality is just... slightly off.
