Episode Seven of the Norwalk Film Festival Podcast features an interview with Katie Goodman (Director & Actor) and Soren Kisiel (Writer) of The Moms. Synopsis: 5 Moms. 7 minutes. One Prius. And 432 opinions they will die for. Welcome to Moms night out.

This film is about parents, and the period of time in which we shouldn’t be allowed to communicate with others.

Parents have opinions. Opinions that they’re willing to lose friends over. Opinions they’re willing to hold life-long grudges with family members about. Opinions that they’re willing to shout at strangers in the baby aisle at Target.

This film is for the parents out there who know they are right.

Because being right is really what this is all about. The Norwalk Film Festival will be held January 19 - 21, 2024 in Norwalk, CT.
