Neuro-Cinema and Beyond's: Jonna's Body, Please Hold
Free Screening February 19th @2:30pm.
Director Adam Bluming's short, inspired from Jonna Tamases's experiences with cancer, is part of the TFI’s "Beyond series", - a collaboration with Topanga Film Institute, John Wayne Cancer Institute, and Saint John's Health Center.
The dark comedy about cancer ventures inside the crazy world of Jonna’s body where life’s daily chaos is corralled by Pearl, Jonna’s loyal, sassy internal receptionist, as she fields calls from a parade of off-beat body parts with never-ending needs. When two nasty killers invade, it’s a fight for Jonna’s life. The movie’s stunning visuals and hilarious characters take viewers on a wild and sometimes bizarre ride into the realm of health, illness, joy and the beauty of life. Winner of Audience Award at the Ashville Film Festival.
