Awards: Nominee, Best Short Film, Philadelphia Film Festival

She’s Got Balls! focuses on a controversial “vegan meatball” entry into a meatball contest that rocks a historically Italian South Philly neighborhood. The film addresses not only the scandalous meatball, but also deeper ideas of cultural change, and displacement, that can occur in any neighborhood as times, and people, change.
