Janay Joseph’s Short Film ‘…Please Leave Your Message’ to Premiere at Big Apple Film Festival
Janay Joseph, a second-year MA student in Media Studies, announces the premiere of her narrative short film, “…Please Leave Your Message,” at the prestigious Big Apple Film Festival later this month. The film, which was created as part of the Media Practices: Digital Video Productions course in Spring 2024, marks an exciting moment in her journey as an emerging filmmaker.
The film follows the story of a young woman who faces mounting problems in her daily life, but to her dismay, can’t seem to reach her best friend when she needs them most. It’s a poignant exploration of communication, connection, and the unexpected ways our lives can unravel.
The film was written and directed by Janay Joseph, showcasing her talent for storytelling and directorial vision. It features compelling performances by Maggie Meyer, a current Media Studies student, and Farheen Ilyas, an alumna, whose on-screen chemistry brings the narrative to life.
