AUSTIN PREMIERE followed by Q&A with filmmaker in attendance

Winner of the 2024 AT&T Untold Stories competition in collaboration with Tribeca, HONEYJOON from filmmaker Lilian T. Mehrel is a hilarious, relatable, and bittersweet portrait of love and loss. Mother and daughter duo June (Ayden Mayeri) and Lela (Amira Casar) embark on a vacation together following the loss of a family member, only to discover that their expectations for the trip differ greatly from reality. With the help of a charming (and handsome) tour guide, both women begin to see each other and themselves in a new light as they navigate grief, tension, and the complicated process of moving forward. Featuring stunning scenery, a sharp script, and the emotional rollercoaster of mother-daughter dynamics, HONEYJOON will leave audiences feeling all the things. - Neha Aziz, Artistic Director
