SYNOPSIS

Make Out Party is an award-winning no-budget, high-style comedy of errors that follows three vibrant characters though a day of misadventure as they set out to attend hostess Mary Woah’s Make Out Party.

Meet Madame X, a leather-clad Venus with too many lovers; Band-Aid Box, a dapper-femme do-gooder just trying to make it through their day; and Bambi, a peppy Satanist-witch with no time for catcalls. Will they make it to gap-toothed-pin-up-queen Mary Woah’s Make Out Party? From meanie alien greaser gangs, to a pair of tough roller-skaters, a conniving librarian and a disgruntled waitress, our heroes sure have their work cut out for them. In the end, Make Out Party reminds us that we are all wild wonderful wackos who deserve a French kiss. MOP is co-produced by Full Spectrum Features.

Make Out Party, won a Jury Award for “Most Innovative Short Film, Award for Excellence” at the 23rd Annual TWIST Seattle Queer Film Festival in 2018, “Best Production Design” at Las Vegas Queer Arts Festival 2018, and “Honorable Mention” at Chicago Underground Film Festival in 2019.
