Screams From the Tower is a gay, coming-of-age comedy that follows best friends, Julien and Cary, two outcasts in their high school during the 90s. However, everything changes when their dream of having their own high school radio show is realised, allowing them to express their creativity. Other than the occasional mishap resulting in several talking-tos by their stern teacher, Julien and Cary are met with more popularity and infamy than they had ever imagined. Screams From the Tower is a love letter to people who grew up LGBTQ+ in the 90s, whilst its themes still remain just as relevant today.


Mae Screams From the Tower yn gomedi hoyw, sy’n dilyn y ffrindiau gorau, Julien a Cary, dau alltud yn eu hysgol uwchradd yn ystod y 90au. Fodd bynnag, mae popeth yn newid pan fydd eu breuddwyd o gael eu sioe radio ysgol uwchradd eu hunain yn cael ei gwireddu, gan ganiatáu iddynt fynegi eu creadigrwydd. Ar wahân i’r anffawd achlysurol sy’n arwain at sawl sgwrs gan eu hathro llym, mae Julien a Cary yn cael eu cyfarfod â mwy o boblogrwydd a gwarth nag yr oeddent erioed wedi’i ddychmygu. Mae Screams From the Tower yn llythyr cariad at bobl a fagwyd yn LHDTQ+ yn y 90au, tra bod ei themâu yr un mor berthnasol heddiw.
