Drama, Short Films, 17-Dec-2025
A young man, on-edge, tries cycling as a way to make friends. Noah Kentis directs “Pedestrian,” an expressionistic character study of a highly volatile call center employee. Working at United Auto Loan Trust, Kehlani gets aggressive on phone calls with people short on cash. A coworker tells Kehlani to smile while office managers glare at him from across the office and consider firing him. On his drive home, Kehlani lashes out on a cyclist but finds himself mesmerized by their herd passing by. He decides to get a bike only to be unwelcomed by the group. Later, a combative run-in with some skater kids escalates. From one impulsive action to the next, there’s a sense of uncontrollable anger that the man can’t shake. Nonetheless, Kentis finds humanity, delivering the film with a cinematic aspect ratio, wind instruments, and a Nina Simone interlude. -JM. Director: Noah Kentis. Cast: Louis Licata. DP: Jacob "Kuba" Bojsza Producers: Chris Ball, Paloma Gonzales, Noah Kentis, Louis Licata. Composer: Henry Solomon. Colorist: Jack Tashdjian.
