ABOUT THE EVENT: The stories shown in this block feature daring and bold characters, those who aren’t afraid to go the independent route. Standing out in the crowd and taking the path that you believe in isn’t easy, but these films have us rooting for the main character at every turn. ABOUT THE FILMS: “Peas,” 2024, Dir. Maky Rupert, 12 Min, USA Susan lives a lonely life in suburban New York with her Italian mother, grandmother and younger sister – all of whom are grieving the death of her father in their own silent ways.

Adriana González-Vega, 10 Min, Puerto Rico Haunted by a brutal act of violence witnessed on the University of Puerto Rico campus, Angela’s world imploded. Seeking refuge in the chaotic streets of Rio Piedras, Angela returns to her apartment where, with her brother by her side, she questions her reality.
