From edge-lord characters to work that’s confrontational in theme, content, and style, this one’s for the bad boys, bad girls, and bad they/thems.

We’re doing this more than we ever have before because filmmakers sent us more great shorts than they ever have before—and as we built our lineup, some of them started speaking to the features they’re now paired with, in intriguing ways.
