Congratulations to Arielle Apfel for her LFS graduation short A CHICK CALLED WANDA which will screen on 10th June in Bay Ridge as part of the A Block of Brooklyn Film Festival 2016.
A CHICK CALLED WANDA had its world premiere at the New York International Short Film Festival, where it won NY SHORTS FEST BEST COMEDY.
The film is a short dramedy about Finn (Johnna Scrabis), a twenty-nine year old costumer service rep at a boxed ingredient startup who dreams of a deeper connection to her city life. This is the story of how city mouse meets country mouse in a journey of self-discovery, not to mention the chicken that gets caught-up in between.
The crew included Jeffrey Michael Lee, Kathleen Wise, Jill Kramek , Johnna Scrabis, DP Ingvar Haukur Guðmundsson and production designer Aephie Huimi, producers Cam Bossert and Reuben Stauber
