narrative short film ♡ 2025 ♡ directed by Chichi Castillo & Lauren R Melton
Celeste returns to their hometown not expecting to see anyone, but when their former best friend and ride for the evening drags them to a party they are fated for a long night ahead. Taking cues from irreverent queer 1990s & 2000s aesthetics and teen comedy-dramas, Be Here Now meditates on loss, connection, and friendship through a DIY punk & femme lens.
