We’re debuting an exclusive scene from the highly anticipated short film Strangers On A Beach , written and directed by Michael Schwartz ( Snatched ), which is set to premiere later today (Friday, August 8) at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Starring Jelani Alladin ( Fellow Travelers ) as Calvin and Zane Phillips ( Fire Island ) as a mysterious stranger, the 12‑minute short is set in 1983 San Francisco.

Amid the grief over the assassinations of Harvey Milk and George Moscone , and the fear of the AIDS crisis and The Doodler murders, Calvin seeks connection, and danger, on the foggy ocean cliffs.

The short film also features Juliana Aidén Martinez ( Griselda ) and Jack Falahee ( How to Get Away With Murder ), with cinematography by Sundance Award
