AFIN recognition

From the Judges, on KICK IN THE TEETH (2025)

From the Judges, on KICK IN THE TEETH

Two actors carry this two-hander with a chemistry so charged it holds the frame, their faces banking real emotion behind dialogue that lands as lived-in and true. The panel found the intimacy heightened by warm, considered lighting and shots that lean into the closeness between the pair, all of it building toward a genuine emotional pull. A tragic, heartfelt piece that delivers on exactly the feeling it reaches for.
