The Perfect Day

Desperate to separate himself from his comedic persona and make a real connection with someone, a clown (literally) goes on a date.

Paulie

An obsessed fan infiltrates the life of an actress, as admiration curdles into something far more disturbing.

Skin

After receiving a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity, Malachi leaves his dying younger sister behind to move to a remote small town. As Malachi unpacks inside his new house, a bloody and scarred woman in a strange mask appears on the dirt road outside the house, screeching. As the woman’s screams weigh on him in the small, sweltering house, Malachi faces a moral quandary: help the woman or stay safely inside his home. All signs point to the importance of his choosing to do what's good... but what does it cost to be a good person?

The Girl in the Street

Tree planters Quinn and Rosa return to camp for another summer in the wilderness. Rosa is newly sober, and Quinn is quietly anxious about how she’ll handle the camp’s hard-partying culture. At the welcome-back party, Rosa is tempted, prompting Quinn to intervene. Shaken, Rosa heads into the forest to clear her head, but doesn’t come back. When Quinn goes after her, she’s met with eerie signs:. As the forest closes in, Quinn questions if there is something else out there.
