Before the world premiere of the film at NoHo Cinefest in Glendale, we spoke with director Mark Koetsier and writer/producer Dublin Wahlberg about directing In the Between, casting the lead actors, and the devastating topic of PTSD. The film was an awards finalist at that fest, and followed with a win for Best Narrative Short at the 2022 Venice Shorts Film Festival. It looks to continue its strong film festival run throughout 2023.

Mark Koetsier and Dublin Wahlberg’s short film dealing with a young couple struggling to overcome her PTSD from a traumatic incident while serving in the military and the subsequent opioid addiction made its world premiere at the 9th NoHo CineFest last week. The film was a labor of love for nearly everyone involved with the production and several came out to represent during the film’s debut, beginning with a raucous Opening Night reception with red carpet entrances at North Hollywood’s The Federal Bar.
