What happens when cravings fight back? This is the question Calum is faced with when a mysterious bag of food is left on his doorstep. Brandon Krish '25, and Jackson Murphy's '25 'Fast Food Frenzy' is a unique blend of live-action, stop-motion animation, 2D animation, CG, and puppetry. During its festival run it has been a finalist for "Best Student Short Film" at the Pigeon Laughs Short Film Comedy Festival, an official selection of the Canadian Screen Award qualifying Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival, and an official selection of the IndieX Film Festival. Congratulations, may the film continue to find more success!

Tonight (Monday, May 6) at 7:30 PM at the West Newton Cinema: the New England premiere of AMA GLORIA, the first film we've ever shown from Cape Verde.

Elias Steven's "Like Me" was awarded 1st runner-up at the Independent Film Festival Boston 2024 Student Shorts Showcase. Congratulations Elias!

Also, Kely Maloney's film "Coming Down is the Hardest Thing" was 2nd runner-up in this competition. Kely has had three films in the ABCC Our World Film Series, including this year's "Government Cheese." Congratulations Kely!
