Sometimes I hear a song or read a poem and it has an effect on me that is beyond language. HOW BRIEF exists in this special realm. It’s impossible to describe with words, but I know it’s expressing something true. A beautiful testament to the power of the short form!
A dive into the cerebral and rumination on strained sibling dynamics, How Brief (2026) is an excellently strange and dream-like exploration of what writhes beneath the happy-go-lucky dining room table of a home without proper foundations.
How Brief follows a restless woman returning to her childhood home for a single night in 1962.
How Brief was directed by Canadian filmmaker Kelly McCormack and premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.
