The Long Haul 100
What does it mean to push your body to its limits? THE LONG HAUL 100 follows Katie Rozar through the Florida wilderness on her training to run a 100 mile ultra-marathon for the first time. Katie approaches running from a scientific angle, turning her training into an equation to test her mental and physical abilities. But as the race begins to weigh on her we see there is no perfect calculation, only the drive to finish and a strong support system.
Ladies, Have We Progressed? 1920's-2020's
An amusing satirical sketch comparing the women of the 1920's and today's women in the 2020's. What do women really talk about when they get together? Great costumes, witty British humor, and an interesting lens on women!
When Mom Is Gone
WHEN MOM IS GONE is the story of a father and his six children trying to hold on to life in Afghanistan. Mohammed is left alone with his six children, the eldest of whom is only 11, in the mountain village of Sumara. Filmed over 35 days, this documentary demonstrates the micro-scale reflections of the devastation caused by the war in Afghanistan that has been going on for a decade. A touching look at fatherhood, a family, and a country.
The Paint Wizzard
Millie is The Paint Wizzard, is a transgender housepainter who lives and works out of her bright yellow RV in Austin TX. Just a few years ago at the age of 58, Millie finally gained the courage to come out into the world as her true self.
