Rachel Thomas-Medwid took home the award for Best Screenplay (Unproduced) for “The Lost Opera” at the  Sherman Oaks Film Festivalin 2018.  But she didn’t stop there!  She returned with “The Squirrels in the Attic” at Film Invasion Los Angeles 2020, which took home the Audience Award for Short Film and year later she was back at Film Invasion Los Angeles 2021 with “In The Company of Crows,” again taking home an award!

I’m super proud to add that “The Squirrels in the Attic” will join season 5 of the Discover Indie Film TV series, likely coming this March.  If you want to watch other superb indie shorts just go to the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video.

Rachel Thomas-Medwid is a filmmaker who simply does not stop creating.  I first met her at Sherman Oaks Film Festival 2018 where she won Best Screenplay (Unproduced) for “The Lost Opera.”  Then she took the leap and returned with “The Squirrels in the Attic” at Film Invasion Los Angeles 2020, which took home the Audience Award for Short Film.  One year later she was back at Film Invasion Los Angeles 2021 with “In The Company of Crows,” again taking home an award! The less happy side of this tale is that the 2020 and 2021 festivals were virtual, so I have yet to see Rachel’s work on the big screen, but that day will come!

I’m super proud to add that “The Squirrels in the Attic” will join season 5 of the Discover Indie Film TV series, likely coming this March.  If you want to watch other superb indie shorts just go to the Discover Indie Film TV Series on Amazon Prime Video.

At the 2021 Sherman Oaks Film Festival, Kathryne Isabelle Easton took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Actress in a Lead Role for her performance in “Borrelia Borealis.”  But we should also note that she wrote and directed this remarkable feature film during the depths of the Covid lockdown, using her talent as a screenwriter and performer to keep her feature fresh, engaging and entertaining throughout.  As a festival runner I can tell you that most Covid lockdown features did not pull off this feat.

You should ABSOLUTELY WATCH THIS FILM.  Be a righteous supporter of indie film and pay for it on VOD, where it is currently available everywhere.  If you want to learn more about how to see the film, check out Kathryne’s Instagram @kathryneisabelle.
