Rivets is my original story about a man with dwarfism in WW2 New Jersey who works the deadly job of bomber plane mechanic. He falls in love with his mysterious butch coworker after their foreman pits them against each other in a brutal competition.

Robert Cordero and Natasza Loumenny - callsigns Rib and Loum - are two overworked jocks, forced to live aggressive lives, learning to collapse in each other's arms.

This is my love letter to the factory workers of WW2. It's about disability, immigration, transmasculinity, the military industrial complex, generational sacrifices, and what people are willing to do for their scrap of domestic bliss.

how on earth did you get me tearing up within six seconds of pressing play?? I was not expecting it at all, and it hit me like a truck

I'm on T! It's so damn hard for me to cry! HOW

Massive feelings aside, this is just beautiful. the far-away shot was so unexpected and well composed that it made my jaw drop. and the voice acting too?? amazing
