ZANE Productions announced today that its latest short film, “Chiamara & Poorvi,” premiered at the LA Shorts International Film Festival.
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — ZANE Productions revealed today that its newest short film, “Chiamara & Poorvi,” helmed by Director Zane and brought to life by creator Elsie Arisa, made its debut at the LA Shorts International Film Festival on August 10, 2026, in Los Angeles.
Being chosen for this event marks a significant achievement for ZANE Productions, a company focused on commercials, branded campaigns, social-first content, and filmmaking. Though the production house is widely recognized for crafting strategic material for brands and major corporations, “Chiamara & Poorvi” highlights the agency’s skill in delivering meaningful, character-focused narratives.
“What made this project especially meaningful was the personal connection that both Elsie Arisa, the creator, and I brought to the story,” said Director Zane. “As first-generation Americans raised by immigrant parents, we understood the tension of growing up between two worlds: embracing an American identity while still wanting to honor the cultures, values and sacrifices of our families.”
“Chiamara & Poorvi” tracks two first-generation women as they manage family obligations, cultural pressures, and independence in the United States, delving into the difficulties of maturing across different cultures and forging their own paths. The shared background of Director Zane and Arisa helped shape the film’s genuine feel and explore themes of identity, belonging, and family that resonate with many first-generation Americans.
“We’re incredibly proud to have Chiamara & Poorvi selected by LA Shorts and to see the film connect with audiences in a festival setting,” said Director Zane. “The questions at the heart of the story — who we become, what we owe our families, and how we define our own path — are universal. My hope is that audiences see something of themselves in these characters, and that this screening is only the beginning of where their story can go.”
Following the short film’s premiere at the LA Shorts International Film Festival, Director Zane and Arisa are already planning their upcoming work. They have just wrapped production on another short film, “Fading,” which finished filming in June of 2026 and is now being edited.
