According to the available statistics, some 40-50% of marriages here in the United States end in divorce. And that puts us among the Top 15 countries in the world with the highest number of marital dissolutions. (The “Top 3” being: Russia, Guam, and Moldova. The “Bottom 3,” are Peru, Qatar, and Guatemala.)▫️
Given the contentiousness, and all the melodrama that usually arises from these break-ups, one can’t help but be enticed by the underpinnings of “DON’T CHOKE,” a short film written and directed by Sonny Baez. In this “black comedy-drama,” Sonny explores “the toxicity, violence and passion surrounding the end of a marriage.” And he depicts a couple’s child-custody battle in a unique way.

We’re pleased to announce that the project will be screening at the inaugural Attic Theatre International Film Festival, organized by the Attic Theatre, a group of creatives “who are captivated by the medium of film.” With the goal of encouraging “excellence in film-making,” they “present the medium of movie” to audiences via a free, weekend-long event which will run October 13-15, 2023, at Cawdor Hall, Newcastle Emlyn (Wales).
