CGiii Comment

Diesel is a 10-minute character driven short film about two New York bred, bisexual millennials navigating intimacy using mediums that supposedly support connection. On the verge of marijuana becoming legal nationwide, Diesel (Light Drama) digs into the juicy core of what it means to be queer, to differ from the norm and uses a blunt as it's symbol to stretch our comprehension toward the underbelly of what it feels to be an other. We find Eli, a playful, loveable, wise ass and Quincy, a charming, neat freak just before they head out on their 3rd date. Although they've known each other prior to them dating, this is their first time being completely alone with one another at Quincy's place. As tension builds the duo learn more about each other whilst Quincy gets dressed, and it seems like the night may end with the two venturing one more first.
