Wild Fire is the story of seven acquaintances that get radically honest about their lives one night around a fire after a party. Unknowingly, they all come to the gathering at a crossroads—one they each have been avoiding, for perhaps their entire life. After an unyielding game of Truth or Dare, the exemplary couple opens up about what they’re going through—that they’re not as perfect as they seem.

GOOD GIRL
SHORT NARRATIVE | 11.5 MIN | English | USA
Directed by Jenny Kleiman

After ending a six year relationship, a well-behaved, Jewish, OBGYN decides to turn her brain off and her body on by exploring BDSM; instances of which are popping up in the most unusual places.

About the Director, Jenny Kleiman

Born in NYC and raised in South Carolina, Jenny is a mod podge of dueling American cultures- in fact, her great aunt even invented Mod Podge, the crafting glue. A 7th-generation Charlestonian Jew, her family's tomato-based matzo ball soup recipe is included in numerous regional cookbooks. A mean parallel parker, she currently resides in Ridgewood, Queens.

Jenny’s narrative work finds the fun and funny in trauma, united in thematic explorations of changing families, sex, and the taboo. Her expertise lies at the weird, genre-bending intersection of dark comedy, thriller, and horror.
