Short Films, 23-Sep-2026
Playing phone tag with an unspecified customer service representative, a woman waits through interminable holds at her parent’s lake house in Sweden. Kevin Luna directs “The trouble you’re in,” a minimal, oddly poetic slice of life that juxtaposes a modern frustration with the serenity of the natural world. After reading a troubling text message, the woman roams around the property in a robe and slippers, snapping selfies and taking a dip in a beautiful lake. The signature scene occurs around halfway through when the woman has an extended interaction with an awkward neighbor with a nose injury. It’s an intriguing portrait where the particulars are left vague to focus on an uncanny tone and striking visuals. We’ve featured Luna with two previous shorts “Five Minutes Before the End of the World” and “Fake Jazz”), and one feature (“San Francisco B.C.”) -KA. Director: Kevin Luna. Cast: Tind Soneby, Joran Stamatakakos. DP: Joshua Aylett. Editor: Guy Stillman. Grip: Francisco Imoda. Boom: Elizabeth Carlyon. Music: Mario Balibrera.
