MPI ORIGINAL SHORT EARNS COVETED SHORTLIST SPOT

MPI’s original short, Regulation, will screen at the 2019 DC Independent Film Festival in March as part of the Narrative Shorts block.

Written and directed by MPI filmmaker Ryan Patch, the film depicts a near future wherein a young social worker named Mia (Sunita Mani, GLOW) travels through a small town community administering behavior-modifying patches that guarantee happiness for the wearers. She must decide what to do when ten-year-old Kaleigh (Audrey Bennett, Broadway’s Frozen) refuses to accept the “happy patch.”

Following the screening, director Ryan Patch and producer Joanne Vo will lead an audience Q&A.
