Baggage (2026): Surrealistic Visual Language and Confront the Past
Baggage’s experimental mixed formats visualized a woman’s brave inner journey of visiting the museum of her fragmented memories.

After getting in a fight with his boyfriend, Joe Vega (Cyrus Stark) finds himself on the side of the road with an uncharged phone and a whole lot of stress. He's relieved when he's picked up by Blaine Mueller (Jak Jaxx). Blaine brings The Hitchhiker back to his house to waste some time before heading into the city and shares his expectations for the ride. Spencer Jennings (Brian Bonds) is a low-budget doctor who sees people in his house. Still on his parents' insurance (and not wanting them to see his prescriptions), Donovan Lucero (Trevor Harris) visits Dr. Jennings in hopes of getting on Prep. When Dr. Jennings is asking Donovan qualifying questions, he realizes there's something Donovan needs to do before he's eligible for the script.

This surprisingly clever romantic comedy perfectly balances genuine heart with wild reality television chaos. It is an uplifting and funny reminder that second chances and real community can show up exactly when you stop looking for them.
Gritty and bleak are the best words to describe this film. There’s nothing happy about it.
