LONG STORY SHORTS — based out of Bucharest, Romania — is described as a “dynamic international festival, connecting the audience to feature length films, shorts, music videos, documentaries, and screenplays from around the globe.” Its goal is to “inspire, motivate and award new talents as well as experienced filmmakers.”
▫️
We’re pleased to announce that “DON’T CHOKE,” a short film written and directed by Sonny Baez, was recently honored with an array of awards, including:
▫️
Best Film @dontchokeshortfilm
Best Director @sonnybaez97
Best Actress @chloefreckles
Best Cinematography @llucmestre @george.tsamis95
Best Editor @hsinyou.c
▫️
In this “dramedy,” Sonny explores “the toxicity, violence and passion surrounding the end of a marriage.” And he depicts a couple’s child-custody battle in a unique way.
▫️
Our sincerest thanks to everyone at LSS, and congrats to the DON’T CHOKE cast and crew. (Their Instagram tags follow.)
