Big Rhonda

When a burnt out tech worker chases an influencer’s vision of off-grid freedom, she instead crashes into the harsh realities of van life and a new friendship that challenges everything she thinks she knows about healing, home, and hashtags.

Climate Control

A director making a documentary about fossil fuel extraction is consistently subverted by an AI agent that wants to tell a generic love story.

The Epic of Enkidu

When the catastrophic king Gilgamesh meets the grass-fed Enkidu, things don't go according to the clay tablets. A fractured take on the cuneiform tale, featuring doom, despair, deception, and sheep.

Misery and Other Choices

What do you do when the world is on fire? 'Misery and Other Choices' is a darkly comic eco-thriller pitting climate nihilism against murderous hope.

Fish-Two-Fish

BLUE and RED live trapped in a strange routine wearing only pufferfish hats and underwear. They pass the time on a worn-out couch, surrounded by board games, stale snacks, and the flicker of a TV.

Footprints

A rabid environmentalist comes to blows with a neighbor who refuses to recycle.

Owed to Lake Merritt

Verna, a traveling birder from the Midwest, comes to Oakland to see its bird sanctuary and immediately falls in love with Lake Merritt, until a stranger opens her eyes to the deeper problems on its surface.
