Denial
Stonestreet actors Jillian Sun and Casey Landman have an innate instinct for playing subtext, silences that are fraught, things left unsaid, words that are about to come but just can't seem to. Watch how they inhabit these characters fully, and let one moment feed the next. And to top it all off, Jillian and Casey wrote the wonderful script.

I Love You
Stonestreet actor Hendrik Riemens as well as Stonestreet alumnus, actor, filmmaker Allegra Henderson, delivered this touching and humorous poetic performance, a conversation between lovers.

Bravo to Hendrik, Allegra (who everyone calls Leggy), Nico Alvo our cinematographer AND to the brilliant editing by Athena Boutari.

Edited by Athena Boutari.
The End of Democracy
Stonestreet actor Arman Maqami, assisted by Stonestreeter Emile Ravenet, deliver what we think is a public service announcement, but then maybe it is a spoof, but then maybe it's something else entirely.
