“Written and directed by West Philadelphia filmmaker Kyle Jordan, The Tunnel is a suspenseful short film that explores the haunting, inescapable effects of Black trauma on a young American protagonist. Through a series of tense flashbacks and close-up camerawork, the main character—an aspiring film writer—constantly battles painful memories from his past just as he gets closer to achieving his dreams. The film culminates in a dark twist that blurs the lines between past and present, ultimately urging the audience to deeply value the human relationships around them.”

“‘The Ticket’" is a family drama, produced for the Philadelphia Latino film and arts film fest’s 72-Hour Film challenge—that centers on Jasmine, an artist grappling with performance anxiety ahead of her first live show in a year. As the festival clock ticks, the narrative tightly weaves in her internal panic with the heavy external pressure of her mother, Sheryl, whose debilitating grief over her husband's death has devolved into a compulsive lottery habit. This brief but explosive family drama culminates in a raw, gripping confrontation where Jasmine fiercely rejects her mother's destructive pattern, ultimately turning to her music as a final act of catharsis and survival.”
