Birthed from the creative chaos of co-writers Ashley Alexander and Jack Utrata, and directed by Nathaniel P. Claridad, 11 Blocks To Go: The Bet has emerged as a queer proof-of-concept comedy rooted in friendship, chaos, and survival. The film follows Samantha (Alexander), a romantic with poor timing, as she stumbles upon her best friend Drew (Utrata) mid-orgy, again ditching his promises in spectacular fashion. With Cody Leroy Wilson rounding out the cast as “Gray,” the film is both gut-busting and gut-punching, exploring queer intimacy with honesty and humor.

After kicking off its run with an international debut at the Pride Vision Film Festival in Prague, the film has since racked up over 15 official selections and multiple awards — including Best Short Film in both Toronto and Prague, Audience Choice in London, and Best LGBTQ+ Short in India.

The Funny AF Film Festival is a vibrant new platform that celebrates sharp writing, comedic timing, and brave new voices. We’re honored to be a part of this year’s lineup — and especially proud to bring 11 Blocks To Go to Georgia, a state with its own wild and wonderful ties to queer culture and indie film.

This is your chance to catch the film that audiences from Prague to Sarasota have fallen in love with. Whether you’re a comedy fan, a champion of queer cinema, or just want to see a sex-positive screw-up attempt personal growth — you'll be laughing in the dark all the way to 181st Street.

Get your tickets for the Funny AF Film Festival – May 24th at 10am. Bring your iced coffee, your crew, and maybe some tissues.
