Bella & Nick's AFI Fest & Austin Film Festival Recaps

Last week, Nick and Bella hit the festival circuit - from Los Angeles to Austin - and came back buzzing with discoveries. This week, they're shaking things up on the podcast with a special episode featuring six hand-picked, standout films from the festivals.

Bella spotlights three bold, unforgettable, directorial debuts from AFI Fest, including The Plague by Charlie Polinger, Fucktoys by Annapurna Sriram, and The Chronology of Water by Kristen Stewart

Nick shares his favorite films and moments from Austin Film Festival, including Forelock by Caleb Alexander Smith, Little Dinners by Peter Bussian, and a fantastic panel for one of his all-time favs, The Wedding Singer.

This episode is all about celebrating the magic of film festivals - the creativity, the community, and the shared love of cinema that brings us all together. We're so excited to share these incredible movies with you all!
