Short of the Week Premiere https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2019/09/30/luisa-and-annas-first-fight/ Short // Comedy // 16 mm I was nasty as a teenager. Nasty and Silly. I wore heavy boots, talked loudly, skipped school and smoked. Still do all of those things by the way. And yes, I’ve been in fights. Incredibly silly ones. All three of them. This little film is based on those three fights and represents the stupidity of youth as much as rock solid girl friendships. To me this is what true friendship is — being there for each other’s most nonsensical endeavors and carrying the weight of its repercussions together. 'Luisa and Anna’s First Fight' is about two high school nobodies desperately searching for the biggest fight of the year… If only they could find it. Filmed on 16mm with a fun, silly, irreverent vibe, "Luisa and Anna’s First Fight" is an edgy comedy about two idiot best friends and a love letter to my very own two idiot best friends. ***** Olivia Taylor Cruz @mightyolivia Allison Moses @allisonmmoses Kathleen Kenny @Kathleen_kenny_ Natalie McElvy @natmcelvy Will Collins @realwill Malcolm Xavier @magicmxj Nathan Lampl @nathoooon Grant Anstine @grantanstine Rebecca Mellinger @rebecca_mellinger Written & Directed by Lena Tsodykovskaya Produced by Elena Bawiec & Cynthia Jean Hajj Director of Photography - Konstantin Mazov @konstantin_mazov Editor - Artyom Baryshnikov @art.montage Sound Design & Mix - Peter Bawiec, MPSE @pbawiec Production Design - Patrick Fritz @patrickjfritz Costume Design - Giselle Carillo Make-up Artist - Georgeanna Walden @justgeorgelooks Casting - Gianna Butler @gbutt Color Grading - Andrey Nikolaev @kefirux Los Angeles, 2019
