Description
Join us on April 26th for this special screening featuring FLOATING CAROUSEL, the award-winning film which world premiered at the 2025 Woodstock Film Festival, preceded by the short film PORELESS.
This exclusive one-time event includes an in-person Q&A with FLOATING CAROUSEL's Co-Directors/Co-Writers Delilah Napier and Lucy Powers, joined by WFF's Co-Founder and Executive Director Meira Blaustein.
Come join us for this unique opportunity to support bold, original voices and the craft of indie storytelling by connecting with the artists behind the vision. Following the Q&A, a filmmaker mixer will follow in our bar.
"I selected FLOATING CAROUSEL as our feature presentation at Living Room Theaters because, a genuine gem, the film was made fiercely independently by two talented and determined young filmmakers who world premiered their work at the Woodstock Film Festival only to be awarded the festival's Ultra Indie award. A true independent success story for these emerging filmmakers who, mark my word, will go on to bigger and better successes in the future."

FLOATING CAROUSEL
Two 20-something women just trying to navigate big-city life together, a sugar daddy, a jealous boyfriend, a professional cuddler, and a gay cabaret performer collide in this fresh, NYC-set sexy dramedy. In their striking directorial debut, Yale alum actresses Lucy Powers and Delilah Napier deliver a brutally honest and sharply funny kaleidoscope of modern relationships shaped by desire, power, money, and daddy issues. The film blends rising talent with veteran performers like Dylan Baker (Happiness), Jessica Hecht (Friends), Catherine Curtin (Stranger Things), and Michael Cyril Creighton (Spotlight), creating an ensemble-driven gem that feels like a bold, contemporary version of Sex and the City – funny, messy, sarcastic and unapologetically reflective of our confusing times. – Amir Bogen
PORELESS
Poreless (2025) is a 13-minute comedy short film following a
queer Muslim beauty entrepreneur who must navigate a high-stakes, Shark
Tank-style product pitch contest despite suffering a severe, disfiguring
allergic reaction. The film, loosely inspired by producer/star Akbar Hamid's
life, deals with themes of reclaiming identity and authenticity.
