Short Film ”IN PASSING” by Writer/Director Hillia Aho

Writer and director Hillia Aho is a proud queer filmmaker and her film, IN PASSING is a deeply personal reflection of her life and work. The live-action short film has been selected for the world premiere in competition at the OSCAR-qualifying Tribeca Festival. IN PASSING was selected from over 8,000 submissions, with its three screenings selling out in just thirty minutes. 

Her work explores human connection, solitude, and our relationship to the natural world. She grew up in rural Maine, which remains her preferred shooting location.  She exercises her roots in visual art with her incredible style, often incorporating practical effects. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Media Arts and Culture and is currently a graduate film thesis student at NYU. 

Her short film, IN PASSING is a film that makes you investigate your own home and see whether you choose love over work or vice versa.

This powerfully moving film is a must see, so let’s welcome writer/director Hillia Aho and her film IN PASSING to the show.
