First Friday

About This Movie

First Friday is one of those films that really captures the chaotic energy of the Las Vegas Arts District. Directed by Jawsh Ojeda, it walks this fine line between adventure, comedy, and drama. You get siblings Tiana and Trey trying to navigate a wild night, dealing with the absurdity of selling 3D printed guns to a drug dealer. It's an interesting look at desperation and creativity in a place where both can spark. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that kind of adds to the tension. The performances feel raw and genuine, and there’s a nice blend of practical effects that heighten the surreal vibe. Overall, it’s a distinct piece that stands out in the current indie scene.

Strong performances from the lead siblings.Unique setting in the Las Vegas Arts District.Interesting commentary on survival and creativity.
