If you follow the Department of Tangents Blog, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve seen some of Christina Raia\u2019s work. I featured her delightful ghost story Hello<\/em><\/a> on October 23 of 2017, and another of her horror shorts, Night In<\/em><\/a>, a month later. This past November, Raia debuted a different kind of film for her, a heist film called Enough<\/em><\/a> with an ensemble cast. Raia says she loves to direct horror, and she\u2019s got a new horror short called \u201cGaze\u201d and a new horror\/comedy feature called \u201cSilent Night\u201d in the works. But she also hates to be pigeonholed to any particular genre or style. Which is why on May 7, she released a feature-length family dramedy she directed called About A Donkey<\/em><\/a>, written by Kelsey Rauber. You can find it on Vimeo<\/a> now, and look for it on Amazon Prime and Seed & Spark in June. <\/p>\n
