ROBYN BABINA WINS BEST SHORT FILM SCRIPT (PRODUCED) FROM THE
2024 BLOCK ISLAND FILM FESTIVAL!!
Perception, the short film I wrote in January (and won multiple awards for over this year), went into production on September 17th - 19th in and around the state of Connecticut. In addition to co-producing through my new production company, Shluffy Studios, I also cast (with the help of Melanie Little and Briana Dunlay), and played the role of the Mother of the family, Jessica Connor. Ryan Farrell (the deuce, Trainwreck), Blanche Baker (16 Candles), James Cribbins (SVU), and Alessandra Rosenfeld (Space Oddity, The Equalizer) also star with me.
Perception has been doing the festival rounds and so far has screened at the 2023 Boston International Film Festival (MA), Atlanta Shortsfest (GA), Micheaux Film Festival (LA), Pasadena International Film Festival (LA). Catalina Film Festival (LA), Chelsea Film Festival (NYC), Mystic Film Festival (CT), Silicon Beach Film Festival (LA), 38th Annual Fort Lauderdale Film Festival (FL), the Open Gate Film Festival (MA), and Block Island Film Festival (RI).
At the same time I decided to produce Perception, I also created my own production company and based it in Connecticut, where I currently reside. The company is called Shluffy Studios. Shluffy, Yiddish word meaning "to sleep" has a very special place in my heart, as my grandmother used to say it a lot while I was growing up. Shluffy Studios is dedicated to my family who I love more than anything in this world!!
