Welcome to Day Eleven of our Sundance/Slamdance Film Festival coverage! Joined again by our Park City cohort & honorary bitch John Wildman of Films Gone Wild, this time we're highlighting three powerful Sundance short films that center around the family.

In AirHostess-737, an air hostess struggles with the discomfort of her braces while working a flight that is also bringing her mother's dead body back to her hometown. Director Thanasis Neofotistos explains how grief is explored in his film, the process of finding an actress with braces, and how the idea for this story came to him in a dream.

The Family Circus tells the story of a Vietnamese-American family that is trying to cover up a drunk driving accident. Director Andrew Fitzgerald and talent Elyse Dinh share how this film is based on actual events in Andrew's life, what it was like to work with the great Michael Ironside, and how emotional it was for Elyse to receive praise from Andrew's mother.

When You Left Me On That Boulevard follows Ly and her cousins who get stoned before a Thanksgiving dinner at her aunt's house. Director and return guest Kayla Galang (who we interviewed for her short film Learning Tagalog With Kayla) and talent Kailyn Dulay get emotional when recounting similar family dinners, explain which details of a Filipino family party they had to include, and share how this short film is dedicated to Kailyn's aunt who recently passed away.
