Slamdance 2025 - Confessions Chin Chin and Bloqué

Send us a text

We're highlighting Slamdance 2025 with two films that explore the different ways in which people process life.

The narrative feature Confessions Chin Chin spends the evening at a bar with a cast of misfits as they navigate love, art, secrets, and self-discovery. Director Carolina Perelman shares her thoughts on bar conversations with strangers, sex, and a memorable scene involving an egg yolk.

Bloqué is a short film about a drummer with creative block as he follows his memories to the root of his emotional blockage. Director Miguel Ortiz and producer Elizabeth Alvarez join us to share their joy in casting the perfect drummer, Malick Koly, using colors and saturation to match the intensity of the sound, and how they're giving back to indie artists through their production company, TheTelly.
