Where should all the gays go? To an island, says a homophobic piece of “fan mail” written to Trevor Anderson, an independent gay filmmaker living in Alberta. Trudging through the snow, Anderson ironically muses that perhaps a “fantasy island” for gay people isn’t such a bad idea. Through colourful animations, he imagines a world free from discrimination.

Trevor Anderson has written and directed the short films Rugburn (05), Rock Pockets (07), DINX (08), Carpet Diem (08) and The Island (09).
