Play Me Like That

From playful, sisterly antics to moments of grief and raw emotion, this film shows some of the most intimate, tender moments a relationship can have. Play Me Like That movingly portrays a bond between two sisters. I could feel the history behind Slipper and Crescent, as well as their friendship. I love the blend of more intense dialogue between the sisters woven in with light-hearted dancing and laughter.

The character, Slipper, played by Nicole Gabriella Scipione is especially captivating. Slipper possesses a child-likeness that contrasts with her sister's more practical personality. Slipper is whimsical, passionate, earnest. It's really her story I was brought into, I could feel her longing.

The film is so expertly written and so beautifully acted it immediately pulled me in. It was poetic, heartfelt, sad yet peaceful. I highly recommend Play Me Like That!!

This tender, whimsical short film explores the complex layers of sisterhood, longing, and love.

At the center is the radiant Nicole Gabriella Scipione, writer and lead, whose performance is breathtaking. She brings raw vulnerability and warmth to the screen, portraying a woman caught between dreams and the beauty of acceptance. An honest and emotionally resonant piece. A celebration of family, promises, and the truths we must face. It's a film worth watching more than once.

A tender and refreshingly honest portrait of sisterhood, this short film captures the quiet complexities of love, resentment, and reconciliation between two women.

What comes about is a film that takes you on a journey of the heartbreaking and hopeful, as our protagonist comes to terms with the unexpected and her own personal journey and hopes for motherhood. A reminder that what we plan for and expect might not always be what we receive.
