Descriptions:
In a dystopian world where supernatural beings are persecuted, a witch creates a team of fellow supernaturals to put a stop to their elimination, all while being cursed to constantly break into song.
This Queer musical film aims to deliver a campy escape while also exploring the realities of our world through allegories. This film challenges the demonization of marginalized people and those who use their power to propel this oppression. It’s a short film about finding hope, friendship, resistance, acceptance, and love in a world that says you don’t belong in it.
The HELLp Squad was the winner of Best Romance at the Absurd Film Festival in November, 2025, won the Silver Award for Comedy at the New York Movie Awards in December, 2025, and was part of the Official Selection at the Tokyo Lift-Off Film Festival in April/May, 2026.
