The award-winning short musical film Grind: The Movie, written and directed by Zachary Halley and featuring music by Derek Gregor and lyrics by Selda Sahin, will be available for streaming beginning October 1 at GrindShortFilm.com. A soundtrack EP is available now from Yellow Sound Label.

Grind: The Movie stars Anthony Rapp (If/Then), Claire Coffee, Pasha Pellosie, Jennifer Babiak, Adam Halpin, Celia Au, Trey Gerrald, Danny Blu,​ Drew Brody , Jonathan Chang​, Ravi Roth, and Matt Shingledecker.

Winner of "Best LGBT Film" from NYC Downtown Shorts Film Festival, Grind: The Movie takes a sexy and artistic look at the ways we connect in today's multi-screened hook-up culture and asks, "Do you really know whom you're talking to?" It's a musical journey of love and connection in an era that defines us by the people we pretend to be.
