HOLD

Virginia Campbell is simply trying to hold on to her beloved status quo when extenuating circumstances bring her adult daughter, Julia, back home.

On a morning that is both ordinary and extraordinary, Virginia and Julia's hands are forced as they must test the ties that bind. Starring Emmy and Tony Award Winning Actress, Debra Monk. Film image, synopsis and related credits courtesy of Heiress Productions, Inc. 


Sister Úna Lived a Good Death

Following a terminal cancer diagnosis, Sister Úna—a smoking, drinking, wisecracking Catholic nun dedicated to mentoring teens—chooses to live life to the fullest in the face of death. The self-proclaimed “leader of the misfits” takes on her last nine months by planning her funeral, tackling her bucket list, and teaching us that death isn’t the end of our story.
