We’re overjoyed to announce the World Premiere of our short film “Capitol Limited” at International Film Festival Rotterdam (), included in the Tiger Short Competition 🐯💛

This film is especially dear to us, since it is a reflection on our wedding day — when, right before the ceremony, a gunman opened fire at a high school up the street — intertwined with the history of the train that brought us there. (The first image is from our film, the second is from our wedding)

More to come soon 💛
