Jersey Arts Podcast: Reminiscing on "Rocky Horror" with Film's Star, Barry Bostwick

by Gina Marie Rodriguez, JerseyArts.com
published 2026-09-17

We are fast approaching Spooky Season, and with that comes the inimitable Rocky Horror Picture Show season. The cult classic has become synonymous with October and Halloween, likely due to the fabulous costume opportunities afforded by its cast of characters.




 

Intense short Remember This screens at the New Jersey Film Festival!

by Catherine Liu
published 2026-09-16

Andrew Serban’s short film Remember This caught me in its visual logic before anything else, prompting me to explore its themes of certainty and ambiguity, which kept me engaged throughout. The black-and-white cinematography feels like a world that presents itself in certainties, in right and wrong, true and false, yet the more I watched, the less I could verify anything. The form and the content are in conversation the entire time, and I found that genuinely satisfying.



Honest and Emotional Documentary The Bond That Broke Screens at the New Jersey Film Festival!

Some of the most difficult things passed down through families are the ones rarely spoken about. In The Bond That Broke, director Jeff Mizushima explores this through mother and daughter Kathi Ross-Nash and Dr. Zoe Ross-Nash, whose lives have both been shaped by eating disorders in very different ways. Kathi struggled with bulimia for decades, while Zoe became a clinical psychologist largely because of what she learned about her mother’s experience with an eating disorder. Their stories make them feel like two sides of the same coin.

Dancing with Horses at the New Jersey Film Festival

by Catherine Liu
published 2026-09-09

In Imprinted, the film opens with a dancer saying she learned early to be resilient, to keep moving, always anticipating the next moment, and that the resilience distanced her from her heart. Eighty minutes later, the film ends in stillness. Everything between those two points is the route from one to the other, and the route runs through horses.
