Film

Anyone with a creative vision and a visual medium can create a film. However, one must have the right amount of passion, grit, and understanding to become a versatile filmmaker. For Garret Patten, his Sony camcorder and outdated Adobe editing board sparked his initial love for filmmaking as a child.

Before the war, there were about 3,000-4,000 Jews living in Bolochov, Poland, after only forty-eight survived. Jampel Productions is proud to present the story, based on true events, of one teen’s journey as told by her granddaughter, Arielle Beth Klein in the new short film, The Red Shoe. Directed by K. Lorrel Manning, the film will premiere online on January 28th, 2026 in order to coincide with International Holocaust Remembrance Day on the Crafty Short Films Youtube Channel.

A film by Priscilla Zanni, “Cast & Brew” is a sharp, fast-paced dark comedy born from a simple observation in a New York City café—and transformed into a full cinematic whirlwind on a Los Angeles film set. Fresh off multiple festival wins, Priscilla’s latest short is a caffeinated satire of modern productivity culture and the quiet panic behind every actor’s morning brew.

Every Sunday, we slow things down. The Sunday Rewatch is our weekly invitation to revisit films that stay with us — the ones that remind us why we fell in love with cinema in the first place. From quiet indies to modern classics, these are the movies that deserve another look, best enjoyed with a cup of coffee, soft light, and no rush. This week, we travel to the most cinematic city in the world for a midnight stroll through time — Midnight in Paris (2011).

This feature length film is both a love letter to the art of clowning and a realistic look at the disappearing artform.

Rewatching Jim Jarmusch’s Stranger Than Paradise feels like opening the door to the very origins of American indie cinema as we know it. Released in 1984 on a shoestring budget, this stark, black-and-white road movie didn’t just tell a story — it quietly rewrote the rules for what a film could be.

When Spike Jonze’s Her was released in 2013, it felt like a glimpse into the near future, but also like a timeless love story wrapped in modern skin. More than a decade later, it’s still one of the most hauntingly beautiful and emotionally intelligent films of its era, a reminder that technology may evolve, but the complexities of human connection never change.
