He Wasn’t Ready for THIS Family on the Ski Lift | /HAAW/ Short Film

🎬 SUBMIT YOUR FILM ➔ https://shortverse.com/submit A typical day at a ski resort takes a bizarre turn when a xenophobic guest shares a gondola with an unusual family. _/HAAW/_ Dir. Joey Scoma Watch the Making of _/HAAW/_ : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NkQuv6b7lA&t=154s The depth of the narrative is not conveyed in a very obvious manner; it sneaks up on us as we begin to grasp what is actually at play in that tiny space. This is where the screenplay reveals how clever it is, and where Scoma demonstrates his ability to create a nuanced film. Enthralling and poignant, the film leaves us in the same state that Scoma’s character – confused and scared, praying for the gondola to arrive at the top of the slope. - S/W Curator, Céline Roustan FULL REVIEW: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2026/01/12/haaw/ *CREDITS* WRITER/DIRECTOR - Joey Scoma PRODUCER - Jon Salmon DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Jon Salmon PRODUCTION DESIGNER - Tomm Jacobsen EDITOR - Joey Scoma COMPOSER - Maxton Waller CO-PRODUCER - Elle Schneider CAST BRETT - Ben Gigli JACOB - Joey Scoma /HAAW/ FATHER - Michael Rousselet /HAAW/ MOTHER - Kelsey Gunn /HAAW/ SON - Max Raths SPECIAL MAKEUP EFFECTS - Mark Garbarino, David Snyder, Julia Hapney CAMERA OPERATOR - Theodore Caleb Haas 1st ASSISTANT CAMERA - Evan Weidenkeller GAFFER - Marlon Savinelli KEY GRIP - Dominic Lopez LED WALL OPERATOR - Timothy Ciancio PLAYBACK ASSISTANT - Jackie Gomez-Ciancio SCRIPT SUPERVISOR - Alexanna Ashley-Roth BEHIND THE SCENES - Jill Sachs COLORIST - Casey Bohrnell VISUAL EFFECTS SUPERVISOR - Timothy Ciancio VISUAL EFFECTS - Nate Holbrook, Scott Gawlik SOUND DESIGN - Kevin Senzaki RE-RECORDING MIXER - Keith Hodne ADDITIONAL VOICES - Brian Firenzi, Alec Owen Reproduced on this channel with the permission of the filmmakers.
