A period piece set in 1950s California, "Bulrusher" is the coming-of-age tale of a multiracial young woman bestowed with the gift of clairvoyance as she navigates life in her mostly white town. More than a fish out of water story, Bulrusher highlights the beauty, complexity and compassion that make life the nuanced ride that it is.

(LONG BRANCH, NJ) -- Small regional theaters have always struggled to stay afloat, and that struggle became even greater when the Covid pandemic shuttered them, often for a year or more.

Breaking the Surface screens at the Fall 2023 New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, September 8

by Anita LaBelle
published 2023-08-30

Modern dance, although not narrative in nature, conveys stories that go beyond verbal communication and straight to the heart of humanity. Rather than dialogue and voice overs, dance utilizes energy, emotion, and connection to the physicality of movements to tell a story. The audience does not need to be an experienced dancer to understand the message of a film. Through movement, feeling takes over, and understanding becomes its own dance between performer and viewer. Directed and choreographed by John Evans and Ani Javian, Breaking the Surface is a dance film that addresses the threat of global warming and rising sea levels, especially in New Jersey.
