Movies about movies! From a struggling writer, to a struggling actor, to a struggling voice over artist - we all know this business can be tough. But these shorts remind us that in the end - it's all worth it! Right? Films include: Avalanche, Dame, Marsha!, Ghostal Galaxies

Underemployed and reeling from a recent miscarriage, comedy writer Jo McDowell’s life is getting less funny by the minute. When she lands a meeting that could turn it all around, she has to make a decision: tell the truth or go for the laugh? A poignant comedy based on a true story.

Avalanche

A lost and grieving Elizabeth returns to work and courageously delivers one of the greatest performances of her life.

DAME

Aidan was once the talk of Hollywood. But fame is fickle, and thanks to a mix of bad luck and bad behavior, he now finds himself stuck in a hole, playing the lead role in his little brother's directorial film debut in which his character is literally trapped in a hole in the ground. Ill-equipped and in vain he struggles to escape a twisted family power dynamic and a complex sibling rivalry turned on its head.

Marsha!

Weaving his twisty surrealist jabs, this documentary pays homage to George Lowe, who plays the voice of Space Ghost, chronicling his art obsessions and masterful voice talent as he strives to maintain a committed fanbase.
