Dead Lesbians, a compelling short film by Jaq Avery of GPOY Productions and directed by Eva Justine Torkkola, critically examines the pervasive "bury your gays" trope in media. Shamita Siva stars as Katherine, a bubbly and charming love interest whose optimistic demeanor sharply contrasts with Isabelle, portrayed by Yassica Switakowski, who embodies a more nervous and pessimistic outlook.

The film also features Jennifer Vuletic as Dorothy Ainsworth, an apparition of a 1950s lesbian pulp writer, who offers a historical perspective on the progress made for queer people and women. Dead Lesbians has gained international acclaim, showcasing at festivals around the world from Korea and Paris to the US, celebrating its poignant message and compelling performances.
