June

A Queer Bilingual Coming of Age Story

presented by Camino Productions

June is a gas-station attendant, withered by the mundaneness of her central-valley life. She has recently come out as bisexual, much to the confusion of her manager Claudia who wants the best for her favorite (and only) employee. When June’s childhood best friend, Nia, wanders into the gas station unexpectedly, they recall a memory of a moment that changed the course of their lives – for better and for worse. Through reconnecting with Nia, June realizes that her actions, words, and emotions do have an impact. This discovery hurdles June into a long awaited late-bloomed coming of age.

​

June has been selected for several film festivals including the Oscar and BAFTA qualifying LA Shorts International Film Festival, LA Queer Film Fest, Film Out San Diego, The New Jersey Film Festival, Taos Pride, and more. Lauren Stevens was awarded "Best Female Director" at the Sunset Film Festival. You can view the film below and follow @junefilm23 on Instagram.
