Minds Like Ours (2018)
“Minds Like Ours” is a Bonnie and Clyde spin off set in the 1980’s. The short film follows Brandi (Julia Breen), Caden (Richie Cordero), and their original love story as they run from the law and steal to survive. A problem is presented when Brandi becomes pregnant and is forced to choose between her lifestyle or her baby. All the while, the remaining members of the gang, Andrea (Clare King), Jesse (Asha Locke), and Aaron (Chaz Bethel-Brescia) are planning a big robbery that trumps all of their other crimes.
Director: Lilliana Portillo
