<p>Leo, a shy eighth grader at the cusp of understanding their trans identity, pursues a crush on a boy bunkmate, but is plagued by a frog. Meanwhile, Leo's eager, gay teacher-in-training Brad tries to connect with his students, but oversteps boundaries in the eyes of a coworker. It is only in nature, among marshes and maritime forests, that Leo and Brad find an unspoken connection.</p>

Sound to Sea

A field trip to NC's Outer banks changes the trajectory of trans-youth Leo's introspection, and eager queer teacher-in-training Brad's career.

<p>His first year of college complete, Nathan returns home to the Appalachian foothills. With Dad's help he reintegrates back into his progressive protestant church and prepares for a mission trip to Honduras. However, what once seemed normal now feels foreign, and Nathan must build his own relationship to his father's faith.</p>

Sheltered

Over a summer in the Appalachian foothills, a young man withdraws from his protestant faith as he and his Dad prepare for a church mission trip.
