September 19, 2022 - Filmmaker Brandon Victoriano (POP)

POP, 11min. short film. Played at the LA Feedback Film Festival

As they prepare for a surprise birthday party, a heterosexual couple engage in a passive-aggressive and toxic dialogue that escalates into a violent and disturbing ending.

Director Statement

As an aspiring filmmaker, I hope to explore stories through my work that deal with subjects and groups not typically represented in mainstream media. My aim is to bring a little more sympathy and love into this world through representation and understanding. I hope that by showcasing situations and people that society often neglects or mistreats in a more humanistic and empathetic lens, we can learn to relate to each other on an emotional level despite any differences in life experiences.
