These Are a Few of Our Favorite Things

A philandering techie and a rent-struggling trio, a doubt-riddled woman and demons who tempt her, a cute thieving couple that’s tied up with cuffs – these are a few of our favorite stuffs. When the films stop. When the lights go up. When we’re feeling sad. We simply remember our favorite festival, and then we don’t feel so bad.
