SYNOPSIS
ABUELITA tells the story of a Puerto Rican woman must confront her darkest fears before she and her cousin can bring their ailing grandmother home safely. As Zara’s torment intensifies, division seeps into her family dynamic and a painful reality unravels before her. Are these signs of a dysfunctional family, or is something deeper going on?
SYNOPSIS
No Questions, No Advice, Stick To Yourself – words six strangers live by while seeking to better themselves in Emotions Anonymous. They don’t believe their lives are worth much – but each of them offer a different support line for another member. When true events come to light everything changes, and they do the only thing they can – band together.
SYNOPSIS
Torn between a disappointing past and projections of the future, Gemma’s mind spirals into a nightmarish reality of allusion and self-absorption which demands the question: “Are you what you think?”

SYNOPSIS
Whitney Vesterfelt is not unlike any 23-year-old songwriter. She owns an iPod full of songs, some written by her and some by others. But lately she has kept one song on repeat.
Originally intended for someone else, this song reflects the path she now finds herself on. Her song entitled This Path illustrates the strength found in suffering – something Whitney knows all too well.
