MPI FILM ACCEPTED INTO THE MANCHESTER FILM FESTIVAL AND THE D.C. INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL

Our latest MPI original short, Moving Violation, was just accepted into the Manchester Film Festival and the D.C. Independent Film Festival. Written and directed by MPI-supported filmmaker Laura Waters Hinson (Dog Days, Mama Rwanda), Moving Violation film depicts a jilted bride who finally faces the truth about her ex-fiancé after a newly-installed speed camera on her street pushes her to the edge. 

Moving Violation is Laura’s first narrative short film, which she wrote in MPI’s 2017 Calling Card Short screenwriting workshop, and stars Milana Vayntrub from NBC’s Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning show This is Us.
