at Tokyo Short Shorts Film Festival

Lexus and The Weinstein Company will be premiering the first of four films to kick off the third Lexus Short Films series at Tokyo Short Shorts. This exciting premiere will take place during the opening night ceremonies of the film festival, June 2nd. Selected from thousands of submissions, Alexis Michalik, has directed this short film Friday Night which captures and highlights this year's Lexus Short Films series' theme of "Anticipation." Friday Night features a story about a mother named Claire who, while visiting her daughter who is studying in France, is thrown into the midst of a city-wide attack. In a place where she doesn't speak the language or know her way around, she's forced to navigate in the dark of night in a desperate search to find her daughter and ensure her safety.
