WATCH: Severance's Britt Lower takes a sapphic turn in the steamy short film Show Pony
Britt Lower and Clara McGregor in the 2022 short film, 'Show Pony'
And yes, it does involve pony play.
Britt Lower might be making headlines this week for that big plot twist in season two of Severance (don’t worry, we won’t spoil it for you!), but Sapphics have found an additional reason to keep the focus on her.
As initially shared by Ana Osorno over at them, social media sleuths combing through Lower’s filmography recently made a fun discovery they quickly repurposed for a fancam — a 2022 short film called Show Pony.
The 17-minute film stars Lower as an artist named Kate who kicks her story off by hooking up with a man (Adam Shapiro), but soon develops a fascination with a ballet teacher, Laura (Clara McGregor). Kate signs up for her class, sparks fly, and well, there are definitely some scenes here you’re going to want to see.
Things take a turn when Kate follows Laura and finds her suiting up for some pony play. If you want to know how things turn out from there, you’ll have to watch for yourself. But honestly, it’s just nice that we’ve progressed to a point in society where fictional Sapphic couples experience conflict beyond deciding to go back into the closet or straight-up dying.
The film was written and directed by Meghan Lennox, and produced by Christian Papierniak, who previously gave us that movie about Mackenzie Davis riding her bike across Los Angeles to try to stop her ex from getting married.
