Femme centers on Carson (Corey Camperchioli), a gay 20-something looking for love on all the wrong apps. After being rejected by an online hookup for being too "femme," Carson embarks on a hilarious journey towards self-discovery and acceptance by way of a manic existential crisis and a drag queen fairy godmother. The short film will be available to stream on Revry beginning this Friday, September 21.   Check out more here.
