One Stupid Thing, the latest film from award-winning director Linda Yellen, will play two film festivals in two days: The La Femme Film Festival and The Newport Beach Film Festival, with more to come.
Winter on Nantucket Island: Three teenage best friends drink champagne on a rooftop. Everything’s chill until a harmless game takes a fatal turn, and the course of their lives changes forever. They keep what they did a secret until the following winter break when they meet a girl with her own dark past who helps them uncover what really happened that night. In this psychological drama/murder mystery, their relationship is tested amidst their guilt and shame.
The film is directed by Linda Yellen and produced by Todd Traina. It stars Corey Fogelmanis (Girl Meets World; I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST), Sky Katz (Raven’s Home; Surviving Summer), Shelby Simmons (The Lonely Diners’ Club) and actor/model/ influencer Jack Wright, with Alfredo Narciso (THE DARK TOWER; THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY) and Siobhan Fallon Hogan (MEN IN BLACK; HOLES; What We Do in the Shadows).
