Director Emily Sheskin's Feel Good Short LIVESTREAMS WITH GRAMDAPUZZLES: A Puzzling Grandma and Her Wisdom on Twitch

Adele Tiffith’s lifelong love for puzzling becomes her unexpected salvation when her hobby suddenly becomes a lifeline to preserve her mental health and connect with others through her growing Twitch community.

Emily Sheskin’s heartwarming and uplifting documentary LIVESTREAMS WITH GRANDMA PUZZLES will bring a smile to face and will most likely inspire you to go out buy a puzzle and spend time putting it together, either alone or with family and friends.

Puzzling is far more fun and even therapeutic than sitting on your smartphone in the evenings wasting time swiping from one post to the next.

Emily Sheskin is an award winning film and commercial director who tells stories full of optimism and resilience, without glossing over life’s challenges.

Her short films have featured in The New York Times, National Geographic, The Atlantic, and even pirated on TikTok (though she’d prefer credit).

Her first feature film, JESSZILLA, premiered in 2023 at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival where it was in competition. It went on to play at notable festivals around the world (IDFA, DOC NYC, Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival) and won awards with Slamdance, Rhode Island Film Festival, and others.

Emily’s newest short is a heartwarming and uplifting documentary LIVESTREAMS WITH GRANDMA PUZZLES premiered at Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival where it won an audience award for “Favorite Short Film”, and just recently screened at the Oscar-qualifying, Cleveland International Film Festival.
