A film poster with the text: "Live a Little" and "A short film by Taylor Mendonça". The image shows two couples, one lesbian, one heterosexual, are walking on a beach with the ocean and blue sky behind them.

LIVE A LITTLE (2017)

A sharp and tender comedy about family, friction, and trying to understand the people we love — even when they’re being incomprehensible. 

Sara and Andi just wanted a quiet romantic weekend. Instead, they find themselves sharing a cottage with Sara’s brother, Jack, and his wildly infuriating new girlfriend, Nicole.

A young woman stares off into the distance, while a figure dances out of focus behind her.

YOU LEFT ME ALONE (2022)

A restrained, intimate short about the ache of unfinished love between siblings — and what it means to try, even when it’s too late.

When Erica returns home in the wake of a personal crisis, she’s forced to confront her estranged sibling, Marina. What begins as an attempt to reconnect becomes something more tangled — a reckoning with grief, memory, and the fragile myth of shared childhood.
