VFF25: "Clown-n-Out (in Valley Village)" with "The Bad Man"

Step into the shadows with two gripping films from Valley Film Festival alumni that dive deep into crime, survival, and the dark corners of human ambition.

The feature  follows a down-on-his-luck clown whose desperate choices drag him into a brutal criminal underworld. With nods to classic noir and gritty indie filmmaking, the film weaves a tense story of lies, betrayal, and the fight to survive when the joke has gone too far.

Paired with the hard-hitting short : The night takes us to Bangkok, where a ruthless hitman returns to his old territory. His mission is simple—get in, K*ll, get out—but in his world, nothing ever stays simple, and no one stands in his way.

Together, these films deliver a pulse-pounding double feature that celebrates the raw spirit of independent cinema and the bold vision of returning VFF filmmakers.
