BEST OF FEST

An Evening of Independent Film

Presented by Indie Express

At The Victory Theatre Center

Indie Express has teamed up with The Victory Theatre Center, an intimate non-profit theatre company who has been developing new plays, producing world premieres and West Coast premieres of emerging talent for 27 years. We felt it was a good match as it is our goal to explore the breadth of talent in filmmaking, with a special focus on the truly independent filmmaker. We've been in talks with several filmmakers to create a screening series to showcase their films, hence the birth of Best of Fest.

JAKE'S CLOSET

A film by Shelli Ryan

A powerfully haunting tale, Jake’s Closet delves into the mind of a frightened little boy coping with his family being ripped apart.

Jake’s Closet unfolds through the eyes of Jake, an only child caught between the two people he loves most. As Jake navigates his grief through the landscape of his parents escalating conflict, he finds himself haunted by an evil living inside his bedroom closet.

A debut feature film written and directed by Shelli Ryan, Jake’s Closet delivers a suspenseful and thought provoking film that speaks to everyone who's ever been through the distress of being a kid.

JAKE'S CLOSET "... maintains a steady dramatic pulse supported by impressive craft."
