ABOUT THE EVENT: You may have a love/hate relationship with the characters in these films; they have a lot of heart, but they put on a facade that forces them to lie and pretend to those they love. They all take you on a wild ride down a road of misadventure! ABOUT THE FILMS: “Vial,” 2024, Dir. Alexandre Jerard Davis, 14 Min, USA World Premiere! Ken, a parolee on the cusp of reconnecting with his family, finds his future in jeopardy when an impromptu drug test threatens to send him back to prison. Desperate to pass the test, Ken finds an unlikely solution with some help from his dealer: a prosthetic penis able to conceal clean urine. But there’s only one problem: he still needs to find the piss. “Ronnie California: The King of Artesia,” 2024, Dir. Adi Kalidindi, 17 Min, USA Ronnie California, an Indian immigrant who operates an illegal gambling ring out of the back of his failing saree shop, must face the music when the community exposes his shady dealings. Hit with the prospect of losing his business to the IRS, Ronnie goes to great lengths to make ends meet. “Hypocrite,” 2019, Dir. Brett Maline, 11 Min, USA A messy, disabled job recruiter in his thirties is constantly between not wanting the extra attention society gives him because of his disability and taking full advantage of it. I mean ya gotta make lemonade out of when you get a titanium rod and eight screws rammed up your back in second grade, am I right, gang? So while he’s giving advice to his clients to be their best selves, he’s making all the bad decisions as he leans into people’s misplaced perceptions of him.
