After awkwardly coming out to her conservative parents, Asian-American teen, Twinkie, convinces her BFF Egghead to come along on a cross-country road trip to meet her online crush at “Lez Dance,” a big lesbian dance party in Texas. Unfortunately, Egghead has no idea what he’s being roped into, and he just confessed his long-hidden feelings for Twinkie with disastrous results. Bursting with colorful animation and kinetic comic book flourishes, “Egghead & Twinkie” is a heartwarmingly sincere directorial debut about embracing your identity and the ups and downs of best friendship.
