GARY & RANDY, a short film
A reunion that tests the weight of time and truth.
CHALLENGE
Producing award-winning independent cinema without the backing of studios, deep funding, or a large crew requires a unified vision and disciplined execution across every stage of filmmaking.
Haddon Film Co. served as the driving force behind Gary & Randy, leading pre-production and production while also supervising post-production and delivery.
The result: a powerful short film that launched its festival run in fall 2024, earning over 16 festival nominations and securing major wins, including Best Short Film at the London International Film Festival (March 2025) and Best LGBTQIA+ Film at the International Black & Diversity Film Festival in Canada (May 2025).
