“Unqualified”

Directed by: Miranda Roldan & Maggie Perrotta

Unqualified is a bold, character-driven short film that challenges outdated ideas of leadership and success. The story follows Valentina Martinez, a Latina mother, military spouse, and entrepreneur applying to an elite MBA program.

"A Little Goldfish"

Directed by: MohammadReza Rahmani

Amid the crowd of Tehran’s bazaar, a little girl sees the world as joyful, beautiful, and full of color — but for her mother, it is bitter, cold, and dark.

Directed by: Aalia Khan, Kelsey Prudente, Samuel Rodarmel & Layne Sovereign

The Rabbit Ballet is an animated, multimedia student short film that deals with change, control, and choice.
