Directors Jonathan Soja and Shawn Hitchins – 2017 Canada 56 min West Coast Premiere – Comedy/Documentary
Redheads are hot and fiery gay comic Shawn Hitchins has made flame-haired world domination his mission. He verges on Spalding Gray in this intimate concert filming of his internationally acclaimed and award-winning comedy, Ginger Nation. This humorous and heartfelt one-man show has the affable entertainer recounting his experience as a sperm donor to his lesbian friends. Hitchins’ spunky storytelling effortlessly weaves tales from his adolescence and his brushes with celebrity as a stand-up comic with bizarre tales of turkey basters and masturbating in increasingly suspect bathrooms.. – Chris Metzler

Ehsan Mafi is an Iranian-American Shia Muslim, who is very dedicated to his Muslim faith. He lives in San Francisco, working in tech while developing his skills as a stand-up comic. The documentary follows Ehsan and Morgan as they get to know each other, and learn about themselves. Does stand-up comedy bridge these differences while respecting diversity?
