What happens

Gender Reveal is a Canadian short comedy horror film, written and directed by Mo Matton and released in 2024. The film stars Ayo Tsalithaba as Rhys, a non-binary and polyamorous people pleaser who reluctantly brings their partners Ting (Ke Xin Li) and Mati (Lyraël Alex Dauphin) to the gender reveal party of their boss Marc (Alexandre Bacon) and his pregnant wife Chloe (Lauren Beatty), only to witness events at the party spiral horrifically out of control. The film premiered in the Leopard of Tomorrow (Pardi di Domani) program at the 77th Locarno Film Festival, and had its Canadian premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. Later screenings included the 2024 Festival du nouveau cinéma, where it won the Public Prize as the most popular short film in the national short film competition. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
