Director Daniel Talbott’s latest short film, “My Age Now,”is set for its West Coast Premiere at the Cinema Diverse film festival in Palm Springs on September 26, 2025.
The film, which Talbott also wrote, tells the story of a young gay man (Carey Cannata) picking up the pieces after a whirlwind romance ends.
“My Age Now” has previously screened at festivals in North Carolina and New York City.
The team behind the project includes producer Lovell Holder, actors Carey Cannata and Tyler Woehl, editor Samantha Soule, cinematographer Johannes Moe, and composer David Gonzalez.
In a statement, Talbott described “My Age Now” as an “experimental, expressionistic memory film about lovemaking and loss.”
He added that he wanted to tell a “queer story that’s unapologetically romantic and earnest,” and urged fellow queer filmmakers to “get our voices and stories out there no matter what.”
This short film is the latest collaboration for Talbott, Soule, and Holder, who have worked together on multiple projects, including the feature film “Midday Black Midnight Blue”and several award-winning shorts.
Daniel Talbott is represented by Signature Ltd. He also serves as a co-founder of the Black Cat Cinema Series, which screens queer films monthly in Los Angeles at Look Cinemas. The schedule for upcoming films can be found on Instagram at @blackcatcinemaseries.
