Moving feature What We Dreamed of Then screens at the 2026 New Jersey International Film Festival on May 31

by Dalton James Vassanella - published 2026-05-28

It is rare for a film to capture a major social issue and equally rare for a film to burrow its way into audiences’ hearts. What We Dreamed of When does both and on a budget that wouldn’t even cover lunch on a Hollywood film set.

Terrific animation Godzilla’s Day Off screens at the 2026 New Jersey International Film Festival on May 30!

by Sydney Sparks - published 2026-05-27

I loved the introduction to the short animated film Godzilla's Day Off by Myra Sito Velasquez. It was very retro and fun. I love, love, love this style of animation, it's very South Park which is the reason I was so drawn to this piece. It's very nostalgic for me as my dad was always watching South Park when I was growing up #cartman #godzillabuiltlikecartman #southparkxgodzilla #cartmansdayoff.
