Genuine and heart-wrenching narrative shorts for when we learn all the important aspects of being human.



ABOUT THE FILM: Insecure New Jersey bodybuilder Joey Rossi, aka Joey Muscles, starts doing steroids in a last-ditch effort to go pro.


ABOUT THE FILMMAKER: Tyler Riggs grew up outside of Tampa, Florida. At 21, he moved to NY and began his acting training under William Esper. It wasn’t until he wrote and produced his first short film that he realized his interests lie behind the camera. After producing and starring alongside Rachel Brosnahan in the award-winning indie feature BOOMTOWN, he directed his first feature, GOD’S WAITING ROOM, which premiered at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival where the lead actor, Matthew Leone (also the star of BLUE BOY), won Best Actor. His second feature, PEACE IN THE VALLEY, premiered at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival.
