Films to be Screened:
“Just for Another Minute”
Directed by: Gabriel Thimoteo

“Unqualified”
Directed by: Miranda Roldan & Maggie Perrotta
Unqualified is a bold, character-driven short film that challenges outdated ideas of leadership and success. The story follows Valentina Martinez, a Latina mother, military spouse, and entrepreneur applying to an elite MBA program.

What unfolds is a quiet act of defiance and a powerful meditation on identity, ambition, and belonging.
“Sweet Dreams”
Directed by: Skylar Lemon
When two friends attempt to enter their dreams to get a break from reality, they must confront their own subconscious; for better or worse.
“Static Skies”
Directed by: David Brian Overholt
Cut off from the internet while visiting his reclusive grandfather, Jamie, a popular teenage TikToker, begins to experience withdrawal as silence replaces the constant pull of his digital world, forcing an uneasy reconnection with both his surroundings and his grandfather, Ray.
“A Little Goldfish”
Directed by: MohammadReza Rahmani
Amid the crowd of Tehran’s bazaar, a little girl sees the world as joyful, beautiful, and full of color — but for her mother, it is bitter, cold, and dark.
“The Rabbit Ballet”
Directed by: Aalia Khan, Kelsey Prudente, Samuel Rodarmel & Layne Sovereign
The Rabbit Ballet is an animated, multimedia student short film that deals with change, control, and choice.
