2 years after wrapping, and thousands of drawings later, I’m so thrilled to announce The In Between will be premiering at the Big Apple Film Festival! 🍎 Mon, May 11th, 7:15 PM @ Village East by Angelika, Theater #3 ❤️‍🔥 Tickets for the premiere are available at the link in our bio. Thank you to the @bigapplefilmfestival and to everyone who gave their time and love to this film! After an attempt on her life, June wakes up in her ex-girlfriend’s bed with no way of leaving the apartment or being seen. Forced to haunt her ex in this purgatory state, June begins to remember what she loved about her and must grapple with the decisions she tried to run from.

São Paulo, New York won an Audience Award at @nfftyfilm 2026! What an incredible time! Very special thanks to the nffty team for organizing this all-encompassing experience we won’t soon forget. It was a pleasure to screen alongside so many amazing films and to meet so many different, talented voices in film. NFFTY gave our film a platform to connect with a heartfelt community of international students and spark real conversation. Thank you to everyone who watched and engaged in its story. We are very grateful 💚

Dream Addicts Anonymous is now available to watch! Link in bio! This is a film I made when I was feeling stuck in a world of consumption, consumerism, and comparison. When the only thing that made me feel better was sleeping. Now, after pouring my heart into a film when I didn’t know how else to communicate that feeling, I saw how many people connected and related to something I thought I was alone in. Please watch, share, and dream in moderation 🩵 CAST: Caroline Burke - Amy - @carolineburke44 Kelly Klein - Guidance Counselor - @kitchenandkitsch Mackenzie Peluso - Customer - @mack.pdf Lila Felsheim - Hot Customer - @lieeluhhh Jessie Keogh - Mean Girl - @jessiekeoghh Sasha Zvagelsky - DAA Mom - @azvagelsky603 CREW: Writer, Director, Production Designer - Ella Braff - @ella.braff Producer, Director of Photography - Eduardo Machado - @dut.mac Assistant Director - Rebecca Booth - @rebecca___booth Assistant Camera - Sasha Zvagelsky - @azvagelsky603 Production Sound - Blythe Graziano - @blythe.graz Sound Designer+Re-Recording Mixer - Lucas Pumarejo - @lucas_pumarejo Colorist - Chase Johnson - @chasetheremix Editors - Ella Braff and Eduardo Machado Grip - Tyler Phillips - @coconutsbam SFX Makeup - Emma Spence - @emswurld_ Production Assistant - Chris Wighton - @chrrris_w BTS Photography - Ricardo Machado - @rictmachado DAA Extras: Ricardo Machado - @rictmachado Rebecca Booth - @rebecca___booth Owen Bradner - @owenbradner Chris Wighton - @chrrris_w MUSIC: Arabesque No 1.

Shoutout to the black box theater for being our dream space, and to the lost bolex banana footage, gone but not forgotten. Have you seen DAA? #shortfilms #bolex #banana

Did you know part of our movie is shot on 16 mm bolex? 🎞️ That’s how we got the dreams to look like dreams and feel so different from reality. If you’re interested in shooting on film, bolex’s, or amazing short films you should watch dream addicts anonymous on YouTube! Link in bio! #shortfilms #bolex #16mmfilm
