Hung Up will screen online in the New Filmmakers LA festival on November 21st, 2020 only in the “Mortal Bodies” shorts program.

‘Mortal Bodies,’ is a line-up of short films that each interact with the idea of living in a physical, mortal body in a unique way. From a pair of cousins dealing with the consequences of a death in the family, to a boy with Cochlear implants navigating the pursuit of his love of dancing with his deaf mother’s lack of understanding to the story of a reaper and a dying teenage girl, to a champion bull rider in the aftermath of a career-ending injury.

Hung Up updates the modern-day cowboy mythology to a cowgirl mythology, telling the story of the injured-but-indomitable Patty "Duke," played by Ecuadorian-American actress Melissa Jackson. Also starring Kevin Kane as the cowboy "Travis," and Catherine Curtin as the rancher "Mrs. Squires." Stunts coordinated by Duke Largo Wimberly and stunts by Adam Lucero.
