No Room For Love, an uproarious and poignant new feature film about family, ambition and the everyday chaos of life in a tiny apartment, will have its World Premiere at the 2026 Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival on March 15, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The screening will be held at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Mountain View (2575 California St Suite 99, Mountain View, CA 94040).
Directed with heart and humor, No Room For Love follows the Santiagos, a tightly knit Filipino American family of seven sharing a single small Los Angeles apartment. Across the span of a turbulent year — from spring’s isolation to summer’s betrayals, to a disastrous fall party and winter eviction — the family chases distant showbiz dreams while confronting poverty, bad luck… and one another. The result is a comedy that celebrates big dreams, small spaces, and the resilience of artists who refuse to give up.

“No Room For Love is our stab at capturing the energy and passion of a community,” said co-directors Randal & Malou Kamradt. “A world of vibrant artists and creatives are contained in this movie, all members of the Filipino American community in Los Angeles whom we are a part of, and in this project, documenters and observers of. This collective, bound together by our wild post-COVID LA experiences has fictionalized our own stories and packaged it up in a tidy little French New Wave inspired film for all to enjoy. Salamat!”
