Betwixt and between; questions and shadows … a sense of the strange permeates this collection. These films in turn touch on elements of the supernatural, the mythic, and the apocalyptic in their evocation of new, melancholic genre spaces where histories are drawn and tested, and futures are never guaranteed.

In the summer of 2003, on the eastside of Detroit, a Grandfather tries to hide his daughter’s incarceration from his young grandson in the midst of a city wide blackout and alien invasion.
