"Proving you don't need 90 minutes to create characters and story,
WAFFLES is 4 minutes of awesome storytelling that packs a punch."- Queer Screen Film Festival
"...a laugh out loud call to action that takes a good hard look at the complicated times we live in and lets us have a moment of fun with it. This film is exactly what we all need right now."
- Inside Out LGBT Film Festival
WAFFLES
an award-winning short film
directed by Foster Wilson
written by Brian Leahy
cinematography by George Su
starring Jeanine Mason & Leslie Stevens
---
The morning after a casual one-nighter with an older woman, Gina scrolls through her Facebook feed, only to discover that the person in bed beside her is the epitome of everything she loathes in this world. Staring hypocrisy square in the face, this young gay millennial must choose between swallowing her pride and standing by her principles.
Waffles has been accepted to more than 25 film festivals worldwide, with 8 award nominations and 4 wins including "Best Performance,” "Best of Fest” and the Audience Award for Best Short Film.

"...superbly acted, masterfully directed, carefully written and beautifully shot. It looks at what we are currently forced to confront daily - the intersection between action and moral indifference."
- Brooklyn Women's Film Festival
"...gorgeously shot....sexy, funny, topical and - above all - real, thanks to succinct writing by Brian Leahy, sharp direction by Foster Wilson, and great acting by Jeanine Mason and Leslie Stevens."
