SXSW 2010: Understanding the EQUESTRIAN SEXUAL RESPONSE

Equestrian Sexual Response is a touching and beautifully creepy short that sets a story of pubescent awakening against the backdrop of animal husbandry (figure it out). 

This AFI Thesis film was directed by Zeke Hawkins, whose moody, naturalistic approach hits exactly the right tone for Courtney Stephens' screenplay. As one might gather from the trailer, this is a well-crafted work that will send the viewer's imagination racing in all kinds of uncomfortable directions.
