Here is the
2024 New Jersey International Film Festival Video Q+A with Stakes is High Director Jean-Pierre Caner and Festival Director Al Nigrin:

Stakes is High screens at the 2024 New Jersey International Film Festival on Sunday, June 9, 2024 – Online for 24 Hours on this day and In-Person at 7PM in Voorhees Hall #105/Rutgers University, 71 Hamilton Street, New Brunswick, NJ.  Stakes is High Director Jean-Pierre Caner will be on hand to do a Q+A after the In-Person screening!  For more info and tickets go here.

Stakes is High – Jean-Pierre Caner (Los Angeles, California) Much like Taxi Driver was a reflection of post-Vietnam America, Stakes is High captures America right now. Will Goldin is the everyman of this moment, living off the fumes of a dream, turning to the gig economy with hopes of a better future only to find a rat race to the bottom – a story that has only become more and more relevant. Accordingly, Stakes is High is a ride. One scene leading to the next, the story building as Will tries to get ahead while risking it all. 2023; 90 min.
