After an inquisitive young girl is told that her recently deceased dad is now an ancestor spirit that she can feel whenever she needs, she tries to find his spirit before her first day of kindergarten
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.
LYZ
A fresh, off-beat dramedy that follows a passionate mental health worker as she struggles to balance her uniquely challenging job with keeping a promise to her daughter.
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.
Superman Doesn't Steal
Based on true events, "Superman Doesn't Steal" is a coming of age story, set during the 1970's Atlanta child murders- as seen through the eyes of 9 year old Harriet & her brother, who are fascinated with superheroes.
The Feelings I Wear
When a young woman receives an invitation to a gala, she must overcome her hair-related trauma and accept her hair as appropriate in all it’s forms.
The Golden Boy
A family drama, about a non-verbal autistic six-year-old boy who with the help of his older sister, proves that his high support needs can’t stop his potential.
