As a part of our series highlighting filmmakers from the 9th Annual Los Angeles Diversity Film Festival:

Wet Seal Cigarettes blends and bends cinematic genres to create a world where consumerism is eating individualism alive. This short film takes every opportunity to inspire the individual to be more than what they consume, whether it be their environment, media, or even the illustrious Wet Seal Cigarette.

Writer/Director Percival Bernard and Producer/Star Nicholas G. Sims join Film Forward to discuss the pertinent themes of Wet Seal Cigarettes, as well as the film’s intoxicating style and performances.

See Wet Seal Cigarettes at the Los Angeles Diversity Film Festival on August 20th as a part of the This Is America block. Tickets are available now at LADFF.com.
