Edition 5 finally make its way!!
This edition took more out of me than I expected. A string of the unexpected kept interrupting the process, health scares, shrinking budgets, crew disruptions, and moments where it honestly felt like it might not come together at all. But somehow, piece by piece, we made it through. And now these films are stepping into their festival run 🌱
If you know, you know, festival circuits usually stretch close to a year, so full public release will take time but I’m quietly hoping we can arrange a small private screening like in years past 🖤
If you’re new to the project, Voetry has always been about capturing simple, lived moments and pairing them with intimate poetic confessions through spoken word. Each short film stands alone, but together they form a thread, person to person, story to story, a reminder that even wildly different lives share the same human core.
I’m deeply grateful to the team that held this through the storm, especially the core crew: Jade , Kayla , and Matthew Pompey , along with every cast member, collaborator, local organization, and company that poured energy into making this real. It truly takes a village.
And somehow… recruitment for Edition 6 is already slowly unfolding 🌿 Feeling very blessed, very tired, and very thankful.
If you’re curious and want a peek into this world, the past editions are out there waiting for you
Thank you for still being here with this project. Truly.
