Last week, short film JONES, which was shot in Bushwick, won Best Drama Short at the Twister Alley International Film Festival. JONES is a short film that follows Jones on her journey from realizing that she has an alcohol problem to trying to stop drinking. The eight-minute long film sketches a realistic picture of the struggle of overcoming addiction.
