WHEN YOU LEFT ME ON THAT BOULEVARD a film by KAYLA ABUDA GALANG

WHEN YOU LEFT ME ON THAT BOULEVARD a film by KAYLA ABUDA GALANG. 2023. USA. 13 min. A Thanksgiving ballad featuring weed, romance and karaoke. In her hazy snapshot of a Filipino-American Thanksgiving in 2006, Kayla Abuda Galang mines her own memories of time spent in San Diego’s Paradise Hills as a teenager. This lived-in quality, combined with Galang’s incredible attention to detail as a filmmaker, results in a deeply funny look at a teen dealing with some stressful firsts: weed and boys. With Thanksgiving on the horizon, we present the online premiere of this year’s Short Film Grand Jury Prize Winner at Sundance.
