- The Unabridged Mrs. Vera's Daybook tells a story of activism, art, and love, through the work of David Faulk and Michael Johnstone, two San Francisco artists and long-term AIDS survivors. During one of the darkest periods in US History, the two men decide to bring joy and color to a broken community. Taking to the streets bedecked in glitter, baubles, and recycled plastic, the two form a cadre of colorful kindred spirits they call Verasphere. Supporters, fellow activists and members of the queer art community join the film to paint a vivid portrait of perseverance, compassion and outrageous dime-store fashion. Having received the coveted Community Grand Marshal appointment for the SF Pride Parade in 2019, the film subjects confront a new pandemic and celebrate 25 years of making sensational art together.
- A documentary profile on Rumi Missabu, the iconoclast cofounder of San Francisco's infamous Cockettes. Through archive footage, animation and new interviews with stars from SF's queer art past, his lurid tales in and out of the spotlight are revealed as he reinvents himself at the end of his life.
- Two men both diagnosed with AIDS and little hope of a future came together in the mid 1990's and decided to create art through costuming. Through the use of extravagant colorful costumes made from recycled and repurposed objects, this movement has grown to over 80 participants. This community project saved both men from losing hope.
