Our February 2, Cinema Speakeasy showcases new short work by Philadelphia filmmakers,

Robert Larkin, Jill Hackney, Katya Gorker, Greg Koorhan, & Kristyn Blue Simmons


ROMAINE BY ROBERT LARKIN
The short film, “Romaine”, is a character study on how grief and depression can take a heavy toll on any relationship.
Albert struggles to overcome personal grief as his brother, Teddy, tries his best to get his older brother “back on track”.



MITTAGSPAUSE BY JILL HACKNEY
A girl fantasizes about all of the catastrophes that could occur during a dull lunch break.


FIRST THOUGHTS, LAST WORDS BY KATYA GORKER
The first in a series of lo-fi, episodic psychodrama interventions- first thoughts, last words combines primitive storyboarding software and bedroom ventriloquism to examine the pitfalls of love.




LEVEL UP BY GREG KOORHAN
Highschoolers Tim and Maggie have a great relationship based on their mutual love of video games. But, when a new girl enters the map, they reach a level they’ve never played before. 



MY NAME IS LOVE BY KRISTYN 'BLUE' SIMMONS
A short film that touches on many forms of love: unconditional, friendly, romantic, professional, musical, spiritual, lyrical & visual.


Cinema Speakeasy is presented by PIFVA, Philadelphia Independent Film & Video Association,  which supports, sustains and showcases Philadelphia filmmakers.
