​Actor-turned-director Miguel Angel Caballero’s Broken Sunflower Hearts is that rare LGBTQ film. Despite opening with a quick montage of disastrous Tinder dates, the story of its protagonist Anthony (Luis Aldana) isn’t about finding a guy. Once this naturalistic domestic drama shows us that Anthony has a daughter and we see his ex (Matias Ponce) show up unexpectedly at their home, it’s clear this tenderhearted story is more interested in the fallout from their breakup. The touching scenes between them that follow, shot in loving close-ups that highlight just what a close-knit family they once were, turn the melancholy mood of the short into the feeling of a wistful embrace.

Broken Sunflower Hearts has been officially selected to screen at the Sedona International Film Festival and at the San Diego Latino Film Festival this coming February and March.
