9:00 PM : BAD ROMANCE - Streaming Encore 

Boxes & Elephants

Confronted with the aftermath of a one nightstand, a Woman and a Man discuss whether to have or not have an abortion. Throughout the story, the word abortion, pregnant or pregnancy is never mentioned, leaving it up to the viewer to determine what the couple is discussing as well as the conclusion of the conversation. The story is told through the Woman’s point of view. There’s a duality about the short film. One part of the film is told through a series of colorful romantic flashbacks of a budding relationship that leads to a one-nightstand. The other part of the film is told through a hard black and white reality as the Woman deals with the aftermath of the one-nightstand.
