Flush
Struggling to find balance between coping with his own grief and the responsibilities of single-fatherhood, recently-widowed Marty’s composure is put to the test when he tries to shield his 7-year-old daughter, Claire, from yet another loss: the death of her pet goldfish.

Nwa (Black)
Nwa is a candid, emotional, coming-of-age film about Frantz, a first-generation Haitian-American boy, torn by the decision to get the haircut he knows his strict immigrant father would approve of, or a trendy cut connecting him to the Black American culture he’s warned him not to embrace.
