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

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.
