Stop Kiss by Diana Son
Directed by Ashlyne Collado
Featuring Evalynn Castro

Stop Kiss investigates the relationship of Callie, a traffic reporter who feels stuck in her monotonous life, and Sara, a newly appointed teacher who has just moved to New York. Their first kiss provokes a homophobic attack that leaves Sara in a coma. In this non-linear narrative, we see the before and aftermath of the attack – how their relationship starts, builds up, and is affected by the attack. As their relationship blossoms and changes, they learn how to navigate their own personal complicated relationships, sexuality, and senses of identity. And through it all, they learn what it means to truly understand and love each other.
