"Lovie Dovie"
Dovie St. James knows what she likes. She likes marine biology, the color pink, and Dolly Parton. However, when she encounters the punky Jinx Li on her first day on campus, she’s not too sure how to feel. Jinx, on the other hand, feels an instant attraction to her new classmate. This award winning animated short film is an LGBT coming of age, and shows that self discovery doesn't stop in high school.
