"LIBERTYVILLE" SHORT FILM

Synopsis: At an Orthodox cemetery in the Midwest, 11-year-old Suzana contends with her immigrant grandmother’s tyranny as the family makes their weekly pilgrimage to picnic on Grandpa’s grave. Come for the grief, stay for the show. 

(Growing up as a first-generation American in Wisconsin, I went to the cemetery every weekend with my family, as demanded by my Serbian immigrant grandmother. This is a true story from my childhood.)
