The Right Words by Adrian Moyse Dullin Shortlisted for a 2023 Academy Award

Los Angeles, CA. Adrian Moyse Dullin’s The Right Words shares the story of two siblings who regularly humiliate each other on social media. On a crowded public bus, after school has let out, disparate groups of children tease each other as the city passes by their windows. There, a 13-year-old boy is egged on by his older sister to approach his crush. This wonderful short is on the shortlist for the 95th AcademyⓇ Awards.

Logline: When naïve and romantic Mahdi is peer-pressured into confessing his love to Jada, a girl who doesn’t know he exists, his declaration becomes a public spectacle.

The Right Words was an official selection at the 74th Cannes Film Festival as part of the Palme d’Or Competition. The film has screened in nearly 150 festivals including Sundance, Warsaw, London, Clermont-Ferrand, and Palm Springs, where the film won an Oscar Qualifying Award.
