“Uncle Nick, it’s gonna be okay, ya’ know? Love is complicated.”
— Trevor drops wisdom on Nick

As this review goes to press, we’ve learned that Who’s Watching Who? was named “Best Short Film” at The Percy Awards in Austin, Texas, as presented by The Academy of Independent Motion Pictures. In addition, the film has received screening invitations to the 15th Annual Burbank International Film and 26th Annual Dances with Films festivals.

A long-gestating passion project produced, written and directed by Chris Levine (most recently seen in Micheal Matteo Rossi’s 2023 actioner Murder Syndicate; he also starred Rossi’s 2021 offering, The Handler), he stars as Nick: the divorced, means-no-harm ne’er-do-well brother (sort of a grungy, more troubled Uncle Buck, if you will) reluctantly drafted to take care of Trevor, his 12-year-old nephew, for his working, single-mother sister. Will Nick rise to the challenge and be the adult for the weekend . . . or will Trevor (a really fine Alex Lizzul, in his debut) be in charge?

Produced and distribute by Margo Neil Pictures and Allegra Ventures, be sure to look for this delightful, family friendly comedy at a film festival near you. Also be sure to look for Chris Levine in the upcoming comedy, Cup of Roommate, as well as enjoy a few of his films now streaming on Tubi. We examined Chris’s career at length with the first effort of his that we reviewed, No Way Out.
