Film Pittsburgh

June Spotlight 💡 Hollywood is wholly weird in this inescapably Lynchian, provocative debut short by Carnegie Mellon University alum Antonio Marziale. Strap in for fifteen fantastical minutes of offbeat, twisty pleasure, as two q***r sex-worker starlets dare to take on a lecherous film-industry executive and marvelously remake cinema for themselves. Happy Pride Month.

STARF**KERS screened at the Three Rivers Film Festival in 2022. It was also an Official Selection of Sundance, Berlinale, & Telluride Film Festival.
