300. Danielle Stritmatter “Drunk”

Danielle Stritmatter wrote, directed, produced and is the lead actor in the short film “Drunk,” an Official Selection at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2021.  This powerful and unique film combines elements of narrative and documentary in a way more effective than I’ve seen in any other film.  This wonderfully made film absolutely slayed the audience at SOFF 2021.

I’m proud to say that you can catch “Drunk” in Season 6, Episode 7 of the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video!
