Everything's Great!
Everything's Great! is about an awkward, hapless lesbian who bounces between a messy not-relationship relationship and her alcoholic-dad-soaked home life, trying to find stability in others—and eventually finding it in herself.
The Tailor
A gender non-conforming person struggling to assert their identity unexpectedly finds courage from an aging master tailor.
Speak Up!
A man struggles with the plight of is generation. A common choice! Whether to conform to society's racist agenda or SPEAK UP!
Try to Fly
When a baby owl is pushed from the nest by her mother, her anxiety and self-doubt triggers an existential crisis as her hypothetical future life flashes before her eyes -- all in the time it takes to travel from her branch to the forest floor.
The PhD
A romantic dinner turns into a ludicrous disaster when Bruno, an anxious psychology student, lies to his control-freak boyfriend about what really happened during his PhD entrance interview earlier that day.
A Sketchy Truth
A young reporter interviews an artist with a unique style but gets more than he bargained for when she offers him the chance to be one of her models.
This is a Period Piece
A 13-year-old tomboy must confront her fears when she gets her first period and "becomes a woman."
