Insta Gay

A millennial reels after breaking-up with a popular gay influencer. Insta Gay is a drama-comedy that explores the real world impact that vapid gay social media has on the queer community.

I worked with my good friend Crystal Tai to create a closing title sequence for Canadian film director Simon Paluck’s incredible short film. We created a dreamy journey that follows the last moment from the film when Michael, the main character, makes a fateful decision to transform himself. For stylistic explorations, we played with a lot of gradients, lens flare and even our collective childhood favorite - Sailor Moon to create the cyber transformation.
