The Everyday Show screens at the 2022 New Jersey International Film Festival on Saturday, June 11

by Jack Greenberg
published 2022-06-09

The Everyday Show by Viren Shinde was obviously made with so much care and had immense thought put into it. The intricacy of subtext, the ideas that this film alludes to, saying the unsaid without actually saying anything. With being a little over ten minutes, each moment of this film provides a purpose, some significance, and doesn’t waste a single second. Through stunning imagery, dialogue, and body language, this is a film that treats its audience like a collaborator.  It doesn’t hold the viewers’s hand, but expects the audience to pick up on the subtleness and allusions mentioned throughout.



James Camali’s haunting feature The Mental State screens at the 2022 New Jersey International Film Festival on Friday, June 10.

by Claire Apel
published 2022-06-08

The Mental State follows a high school senior named Andy Cady (Jance Enslin), depicted as a kind of tortured artistic loner, and his burgeoning relationship with a manipulative, imaginary local Navy SEAL veteran named Dylan (Bryan Greenburg). Stuck in the heart of rural Kentucky, Andy is brought to the brink by Dylan’s machinations. Dylan convinces Andy to believe in dangerous conspiracies and conditions him into following his orders like Andy is one of his fellow veterans. The only person really troubled by their growing relationship is Andy’s single mother Angela (Carly Pope). As the film progresses and Andy’s behavior becomes more erratic, she begins to worry seriously for his health and safety. Andy’s beliefs and actions reach the point that he emotionally harms a fellow student. Angela, impoverished and alone, struggles to find resources to help Andy before it’s too late.
