🎬 SUBMIT YOUR FILM ➔ https://shortverse.com/submit A bird’s-eye view of Arcadia, California’s official symbol—the peacock—beloved by some, blamed by others, and impossible to ignore in this once-idyllic suburb. _Our Neighbors, The Peacocks_ Dir. Callie Barlow https://calliebarlow.com/ https://www.instagram.com/calliopop/ "Our Neighbors the Peacocks resists the urge to resolve the tension it so clearly lays out. Instead, it leans into a modest but resonant idea articulated by its director that living alongside these animals might require “putting aside your own discomforts to find a deeper meaning in nature.” It’s not a radical thesis, but within the context of a culture that increasingly experiences nature at a remove, it lands with quiet force." - S/W Curator, Jason Sondhi Link to Full Review: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2026/04/16/our-neighbors-the-peacocks/ *CREDITS* OUR NEIGHBORS, THE PEACOCKS In association with Goode Films Directed & Produced by Callie Barlow Executive Producers: Jeremy McBride & Thomas Petersen Associate Producer: Michelle Dy Cinematography by Gabe Mayhan Edited by Kara Blake Score by Qasim Naqvi Music Supervisor: Julie Blake Sound Recordist: James Ersted Additional Filming, AC, DIT: Isabela Zawistowska Additional Filming: Harley Astorga AC: Nick Kubeck Additional Editing: Sophie Kornberg Assistant Editor: Ronnie Rios Post Production Supervisor: Alex Exline Online & Conform: Alex Exline Archival Producer: Leah-Lani Griffin Archival Researcher: Corinne Marquardt Motion Graphics: Kara Blake Graphic Designer: Carmen Vela Poster & Title Design: Jake Zielinski Post Production Services: Fancy Film Supervising Post Producer: William B.
