Description

Come see the World Premiere of four short films written and produced by local youth filmmakers at our annual PitchNic event. Doors open at 7:00 PM and screenings begin at 7:30 PM followed by a short Q&A with the filmmakers.

This year’s films include:

Early Mourning
A teen boy struggles to make his way back on the field after losing his brother and teammate. A journey through loss, guilt, and grief from the eyes of a young Polynesian boy.

A “Haunted” House
A documentary film student follows two boys and their uninvited social-media-obsessed friend as they go on an unforgettable night of ghost hunting.

OZYMANDIAS
At this moment, we are at a reckoning. We must choose between the continuation of our current way of life, and the continuation of life on earth. A hybrid documentary telling of the looming climate apocalypse, the death cult of capitalism, and the rebirth of civilization.

Hija
A nonfiction film looking into the guilt and pressures of being a daughter in a Latinx household as they transition from home–everything that’s been sacrificed for them–and journey into the unknown.

ABOUT PITCHNIC
