ANNOUCING “RUKIA”

We’re thrilled to officially announce RUKIA, an upcoming narrative short film heading into production this winter.

“RUKIA” is a dramatic character portrait set in modern day, New York City. The film delves into themes of love, sacrifice, class struggles, and the blanket of warmth that faith can provide. The film will shoot December 2025 and be completed in May 2026 serving as CUNY CCNY MFA candidate Hilton Goode’s thesis film.

Stay tuned for cast & crew announcements, casting calls, as well as the fundraising campaign dropping here next week.
