Our Favorite Stories In Film - Dovere For Camden


New Jersey Stage published its 25,000th story in December 2021. As the site approached the milestone, we posed the question on social media as how we should celebrate.  One response was to highlight our favorite stories from over the years.  We liked this idea, but could not narrow things down to just 25 favorites so we will present a favorite each day from different genres.  Every Wednesday will feature a story about film.  This week's choice is our feature on Dovere For Camden, a film by Douglas Clayton that screened at the New Jersey Film Festival in 2018.


The Call of Water screens at the Spring 2022 New Jersey Film Festival on January 30!


Kaya Tone proves herself to be a capable director with a clear vision in her short film The Call of Water (2021), giving audiences a well-developed story for having a runtime just under 20-minutes. The Call of Water is a condensed coming of age story following Nadia, played by Trinity Simpson, as she tries to accept and understand her responsibilities to not only her immediate family, but to her ancestors as well. Spending the night in her childhood home before it is sold, Nadia finds herself stuck in the astral-plane face to face with an ancient keeper of the land and water, The Horned One. Nadia must face her fears and deal with her responsibilities rather than run away from them in order to return to her body. Set in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and starring the young talent of Trinity Simpson, Emily Bollman, Sawyer Wright, Eric Palmer, Haiden Davis, Rebecca Hamner, and Tamara Jakos, The Call of Water is a unique fantasy with a familiar lesson dealing with themes of family, nature, and responsibility.
