We are excited to announce that Tenancy is officially screening at the Oceanside International Film Festival and has received 7 award nominations:
• Best Narrative Short Film • Best Direction • Best Leading Actor • Best Supporting Actor • Best Screenplay • Best Art Direction • Best Original Score
This film exists because of an extraordinary cast and crew who poured themselves into every frame.
Our actors brought vulnerability and intensity to a story that demands both. Every long night. Every pivot. Every last-minute solve. It’s all up there on screen.
And we honestly can’t wait to experience this with an audience in a theater. There’s nothing like hearing the room react in real time.
More soon on how we made TENANCY — the process, the challenges, and the team behind it all. 👀🎥
Proud of this one. Proud of this crew.
See you at the screening. ✨
