Aarin’s short film Dreams of Passion is screening ahead of Jessie Maple’s feature Twice As Nice, as part of the 9-part film series “Declaration of Independents!” at IFC Center.

This retrospective, curated by IndieCollect and IFC Center, invites audiences and up-and-coming filmmakers to see some of the best and most enduring movies to emerge during a key decade of the American independent cinema movement — films that remain startling, entrancing, prescient, and great fun to discover / rediscover today.

Aarin will be personally introducing the screening on July 9th at 9:00pm. There is another screening on July 8th at 4:35pm.
