Rothstein's recent narrative short film "Every Other Weekend", was accepted into over 20 international film festivals and was the Winner of the Blue Wave award at the Lakeshorts International Short Film Festival, Winner of Best Short Drama Award at Venice Short Film, Williamsburg Independent, and Westfield Film Festival.
