Fired from her job and navigating through a divorce, she falls prey to investors looking to flip her childhood home after she couldn’t keep up with the bills. Deb must learn to confront her mounting issues, and accept change, before the world comes to collect its dues. (15 minutes)

Ash Wednesday - When queer Catholic schoolgirl Bridget gets her period during Ash Wednesday Mass, she embarks on an odyssey with best friend Erin to find a tampon and make it back in time to get their ashes - or else they're suspended. (17 minutes)

Terrific

Terrific short Wrestle-Off screens at the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival on May 31

Achieving our goals that we hold so dearly requires a long road with complicated obstacles and opponents that we come into contact with. These hurdles shape us and guide our decisions and actions in the long term. Sabatino Ciatti Jr.’s Wrestle-Off acknowledges these facts and creates a powerful and poignant representation of them through its main character, Alex.



Cléa

Cléa van der Grijn’s surreal feature Elisa in Wonderland has its USA Premiere at the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival

In 2024, Cléa van der Grijn released her first feature film, The Disembodied Adventures of Alice, a new take on the classic story surrounding Wonderland. A year later, van der Grijn is now releasing another feature that carries heavy references to historical works, Elisa in Wonderland. The film surrounds Elisa, who, upon returning to her ancestral home, grapples with anxiety and other mental health conditions. As the film progresses, her state of health worsens alongside her sense of reality. The film itself is carefully crafted by van der Grijn to deliver this narrative, offering references to historical works of art and poetry to showcase Elisa’s state and her isolation from the world around her.
