"The Journal" is a short comedy that follows a lonely drunk through a wild and hazy night. Presented with a journal by his friends who wish he'd remember his boozy antics, he is horrified to read the sloppy entries on the painful morning after. Gothic demon women, half-naked swimmers, mimes and tattooed bruisers fight through he fog of his memory, pushing him straight to AA.

Frank (Miller) is a gay journalist who goes undercover at the urging of his therapist boyfriend Jonathan (Provenza) to write an exposé of Dr. Apsey (Butler). Apsey performs conversion therapy on gay male clients, a practice which Jonathan finds reprehensible. Frank quickly comes clean with Apsey but continues to meet with him under the pretense of interviewing him, but finds himself questioning himself, Jonathan and their six-year relationship.
