Christopher Matias Aguila

On the eve of his 30th birthday, and in the wake of a recent break-up, Chris’s self-esteem has taken a nose dive. But when the hunky coffee shop customer of his dreams invites him to a gay pool party, he gets an unexpected opportunity to turn things around. Screenwriter and lead actor Christopher Matias Aguila delivers a hysterically funny performance in this heartwarming 15-minute rom-com.

Lonely and bored, two young men share a casual hook-up and attempt to establish some sort of intimacy with one another in the aftermath while wandering the East Bay hills. Cruisers is a charming and awkwardly romantic seven-minute short from writer-director Leland Montgomery.
