Our Favorite Stories In Film: Inez & Doug & Kira

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 a feature on the film Inez & Doug & Kira in which we interviewed the film's director, Julia Kots.
