The Following is a Paid Advertisement
Directed by Ryan George Kittleman, USA, Short, 2:46, New York City Premiere

An homage to the golden age of late-night infomercials, "The Following is a Paid Advertisement" spotlights a most unusual resort, where guests soak in pools of healing chowder, and bizarre secrets bubble beneath the surface. Hypnotic and unhinged, this retro fever dream guarantees a vacation experience like no other.nOperators are standing by.

OH, DEER

When a couple's explosive argument is interrupted by a tragic accident, the night takes a turn they never saw coming.

Dog Days Of Summer
Directed by Artie Brennan, USA, Short, 7:19, World Premiere

In this biting mockumentary, coastal towns of the Northeast face two growing threats: something sinister lurking just beyond the shoreline and the simmering hostility tearing neighbors apart. Inspired by sensational media coverage of a recent shark influx, the film skewers modern America’s inability to engage in civil, informed debate—proving that in these waters, the danger isn’t just beneath the surface.

Crowded Out
Directed by Brian Lederman, USA, Short, 8:33, Brooklyn Premiere

During a desperate search for parking in the city, Owen picks up a strange hitchhiker who offers help, but instead gives unwanted opinions, and leads to more hitchhikers.


Fender Bender
Directed by Brian Herrera Gladstone, USA, Short, 12:10, Brooklyn Premiere

While arguing about moving in together, Gabe and Julia are rear-ended by Gabe's therapist, turning an accident into an impromptu therapy session.

The Michael C. Jordan Theory
Directed by Matt Levy, USA, Short, 14:57, New York City Premiere

A thirty-something man (Sami Bronowski) is quite upset about his Instagram algorithm so he takes matters into his own hands with the help of his wife (Anna Paone).

COOKIES
Directed by Stewart Lewis, USA, Short, 21:54, World Premiere

Noah, a dashing, distinguished professor, is left with only his dog when his wife unexpectedly dies. After finding a flyer for a yoga studio, he goes on a whim and meets April, who works the front desk with her homemade “healthy” cookies.

April has her own troubles, dealing with her sick father and struggling as an artist, but something clicks for both of them. A book is exchanged, sparks become embers, and embers become flames. What Noah doesn’t know is that the yoga flyer that brought him to April has a note on the back…

Shot during New York City’s bright and crisp autumn, COOKIES is the charming, poetic, and melodic rom com we all need right now.
