Gaslighting Dad

WORLD PREMIERE

Runtime: 7 min

After Travis botches a social interaction with his girlfriend Gabby's father, the pair resort to gaslighting to prevent lifelong ridicule.

Cast: Jack Dominick, Alex Getlin, Jesse Swimm 


Being Bublé

NEW YORK PREMIERE

Runtime: 20 min

A deeply unqualified man is inexplicably hired as a Michael Bublé impersonator for a rich stranger’s party. Despite no resemblance, no singing ability, and just one week to prepare, he gives it everything he’s got. A hilarious, oddly inspiring doc about effort over ability and the joy of letting folks believe.

Cast: Dan Perlman, Anthony DeVito, Charlotte Kassimir, Erin Matthews


Maggie’s Not Okay

Runtime: 12 min

Maggie, a chronic people pleaser, is always getting pushed around. But when she tries to return a lost cat to his owner, Maggie is finally pushed too far and decides to push back… in a most unexpected way.

Cast: Mouzam Makkar, Behzad Dabu, Clare Cooney, Paloma Nozicka


Welcome to America Brian Wong

NEW YORK PREMIERE

Runtime: 12 min

For thirty years, the Virginia Steins have dominated their annual family softball game against the Maryland Steins—until game thirty-one nearly breaks the streak. After ten-year-old Henry’s costly error hands Virginia the win, his father Mike subjects him to intense training to make him a better ballplayer. When that fails, Mike takes a drastic step: adopting another son. 

Cast: Tatum Millet, Lori Hammel, Cynthia Mace, Farouk Al-Salihi


Bitch I’m Early

Runtime: 6 min

In a cutthroat corporate world where being first is everything, two women from different generations battle for a promotion. Their rivalry spirals from petty jabs into an all-out race to the office, with B!tch I’m Early hilariously skewering corporate culture in just six sharp minutes.

Cast: Jesenia, Michelle Batista
