Drama, Short Films, 15-Jun-2023
A troubled teen has one last night out with friends before her life is changed forever. Maddy Rose Figueredo’s “Swan Song” follows college student Aubrey as she navigates the social gymnastics and vices of a hard-partying friend group. Feeling sick after drinking too much, Aubrey goes to the bathroom where she encounters Adam, a romantic interest who’s been ghosting her. After some awkwardness, they make out, do lines of cocaine, and decide to drive to his place. Although low-key and raw, Figueredo's execution is in line with her subject’s youthfulness and feelings of disorientation. -Jinho Myung. Writer, Director: Maddy Figueredo. Cast: Kate Alexander, Norberto Cisneros, Elijah Fuchs. Director of photography: Liddor Bega. Editor: Gabby Lizzul. Producer: Jackie Perry.
