An unexpectedly poignant short from directors Irene Chin and Kurt Vincent (aka 26 Aries) and Little Moving Pictures (previously featured here). Shot guerilla-style during San Francisco’s annual 4/20 gathering at Hippie Hill, “How It’s Goin” follows Steve, a recently divorced father, as he quietly struggles to fill the rest of his day after handing off his daughter to his ex.
