"Who cares if she knows your name? She hasn't seen our faces." This short film just finished its festival run and is now available online. Enough is written, directed, produced, and edited by filmmaker Christina Raia, who found time to fit in this short between making two other feature films. The story follows three women get into some trouble when two of them decide to rob the house the other is house sitting. Starring Kristine Gordon, Dani Thomas, and Gwen Albers, plus Christina Shea-Wright and Adam Lim. This short is all about the story and the characters, not so much about style or visuals. Raia wanted to break the "gender stereotypes in a genre typically reserved for men" and tell a story that she just had to tell, based on her own experiences being frustrated in a world that is so often against young people. It's a good watch. Original...

The Owens family is at a nexus point of chaotic emotions, troubles, and fears thanks to the start of new chapters in their respective lives. Mom (Katherine Wessling’s Ann) has officially accepted what everyone else already had: a battle with depression. Burgh (Ben Kaufman) recently started seeing someone (Sarah Haruko’s Cassie) he’s afraid to reveal to the family due to her having a past history with his younger sister. She (Alexandra Clayton’s Annie) is ready to pop thanks to hers and husband Paul’s (Ricardo Manigat) first child, making it so they will need their spare room back. The current inhabitant of said room is eldest sibling Cecilia (Christina Wright) who’s sans job, sans love, and uncertain of finding either again. And Dad (Peter Jensen’s Tim) bought a donkey.
You read that last sentence correctly and the family is equally flabbergasted with the purchase.

The River Run International Film Festival wrapped its 18th edition in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with its narrative feature award going to Anna Rose Holmer’s The Fits, which was, in the words of the jury, “an audacious debut from a promising American talent.”
Best documentary feature went to Mike Plunkett’s Salero, about one of the last salt gatherers in Bolivia. The jury praised that film “for its astonishing visuals, narrative acuity and ability to showcase characters that go against the grain.”
The Fits, a Venice Biennale College project that also played at Sundance, also won best actress for its impressive young newcomer Royalty Hightower.
Interestingly, there is a link between the two top winners — debutant director Holmer from The Fits also served as a producer on Salero.
The jury’s best ensemble performance went to Jackson Martin, Nick Serino and Reece Moffett in Sleeping Giant, with best director honours for Romania’s Radu Muntean for One...
