Join host Olivia Lyle (@olivialyle1) for an exclusive interview with Cooper Alexander and Robbie Martin Anderson, lead actors of Arcade Moon. Captured by Kyle Reed (@thekylereed) during the IndieX Film Fest 2025 Annual Awards at Regal LA Live, Los Angeles.

Nominated for Best Indie Short and Best Young Actor of 2025, Arcade Moon is directed by William Michael Anderson and tells the story of Cutter, an alcoholic thirtysomething father who attempts to reconnect with his estranged son at the local arcade. When his ex-wife and her new partner discover his unannounced visit, Cutter is forced to confront the demons of his past—or risk losing his family forever.

With authentic chemistry and emotional precision, Alexander and Anderson deliver powerful, nuanced performances that anchor the film’s heart-wrenching exploration of fatherhood, forgiveness, and fractured bonds.
