Hostile Exchange (2025) is a quirky comedy that reimagines the classic western showdown as a woman's fight to reclaim her power. Post-breakup, Gemma will stop at nothing to take back her best self, and her beloved tuxedo cat, from the clutches of her now-ex-boyfriend. Even if it means trekking out into the desert alone.
Hostile Exchange will have its World Premiere at the Oscar Qualifying LA Shorts International Film Festival. Check back for the screening date, time and ticket link!
