A Night to Remember
It happened! Trying screened at the TCL Chinese Theatre last month as part of HollyShorts' Screening Series, shown alongside 2023 Oscar-Nominated and BAFTA-winning short film An Irish Goodbye, and Izabel Pakzad's short Don't Worry, it's Gonna Be OK produced by James Franco.
The night was truly a dream! Combining wistful Hollywood history with fresh, buzzing works, I'm so appreciative of the overwhelming amount of Trying/SamSkape Fam members that came out to celebrate the event. Thank you all so much for your support. For anyone who would like an inside look into the evening, be sure to check out the Trying Team red carpet photos, Sam speaking at the filmmaker Q&A, and more here.
