Hum and Do No Harm
In the time of COVID-19, where singing your truth can mean harming others, Vanessa Richards shows us how to be music.
El Color Negro
Color only exists in the presence of light, so all things are essentially black. But really, what is black? A creative exploration of the meaning of BLACK.
Toward You
A day in the life of a tenacious teenage girl as she pursues her dream of becoming a socially-conscious slam poet.
Found Me
In the foggy, twilight, arctic, dead of winter of Quebec City, Mitch’s life takes a turn after unwittingly stumbling upon the world of underground wrestling.
Devoted
A lonely married woman enrolls in a new age workshop and begins to wake up and unravel.
The Gift
A neglected boy uses his unusual talent to bring his despondent mother joy.
Asal
A story of displacement and loneliness featuring a young Iranian dancer.
After That
Three phases of Cassie's life, two of which follow her assault, weave together, demonstrating how memories permeate the life that comes after the traumatic event, and how isolating this can be.
