Ziska Films

Ziska Films makes independent films that twist gently, hit deeply, and maybe haunt you a little (in a good way). New stories are always on the way.

We like quiet tension, emotional echoes, and chasing the green light — one frame at a time. Ziska Films is a tiny-but-bold space for creating independent films that twist gently, hit deeply, and maybe haunt you a little (in a good way). We make short films that lean into honesty, mood, and the moments between the lines. Sometimes raw, sometimes strange — always personal. Stick around for behind-the-scenes looks, future films, casting calls, premieres, and whatever else is growing here.

Independent cinema lives and breathes because of community. There is nothing better than collaborating on set with friends and showing up to support each other’s stories. Both on set and in the audience.

Let’s keep lifting local indie film up!

A truly special night at the movies. “A Stage of Twilight” is a beautiful piece of filmmaking, made even better by an intimate, exclusive Q&A with William Sadler himself.

Grateful to Cardinal Flix, Inc and Scranton Art Haus for bringing such high-caliber cinema experiences to our community. 🎟️✨

To my ancestors...thank you. 💕

A 25-second tribute to my great-grandfather, Benjamin Parry, and the beautiful legacies built out of nothing.

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of this nation, I’m reflecting on the courage of those who came before us to build their American Dream.

Happy 4th of July, America. 🇺🇸
