MANASQUAN — Brick Township writer, producer and actor Karen Goeller was the featured local artist at the 42nd Asbury Short Film Concert presented at the Algonquin Theatre on March 11.
The event celebrated nine short independent films from the United Kingdom, Ireland, New York, New Jersey and Indiana.
Among the films’ themes were clever couple communication, senior and pre-teen courtship, village collective memories, people validation and a neighborhood conspiracy to stage a birthday surprise, which was the plot of Ms. Goellar’s short film.
Diane Meier, host for the night, introduced each of the independent films selected by event organizer Doug LeClaire.
The house was fully packed to 500 people roaring in laughter at the selected shorts and the funny scenes they depicted. All the films selected thrived on light-hearted takes on life and promoted universal messages of hope and love for life and everything that comes with it, including family, neighbors and work.
