If I were programming a festival* (quick, somebody hire me! ha) I would program
Amanda Sweikow’s short THE Cycle
followed by Miami Magic, the short that Jen Orta Castellanos & the Miami Film Lab produced
and then all of season 1 of Courtney Romano’s Kinsley Vs.
Highly recommend you watch all 3. There’s a narrative/thematic throughline. And all 3 together are still shorter than watching 1 feature.
*Secret sneak peek: I programmed my own “festival,” which I will hopefully be sharing soon..ish.
