Adonis by Kaylee Haye

16-year old Emery Marshall has made her mark within the community as a powerful speaker and advocate after having just lost her father to police brutality a few months prior. Emery’s own emotions start to come second to her duty to serve her community.

SNAFFLED by Mads Sprecher-Brooks

The idea for this short was born years ago, when a young girl first saw Buffy do a backflip kick off a high-bar. And in that moment, I wanted to make the magic I saw on screen – blending side-splitting levels of funny with absolute heart pounding action. SNAFFLED is here to bring that to life!

Love & Lazarite by Krí Schafer

After deadly life forms take humanity prisoner, three escapees take shelter on the run, and vie for the power of a mysterious stone. Selfishness and greed have no place in human connection. LOVE & LAZARITE pits toxic masculinity versus empathy in a concise and riveting context.

November by ELLA BRINCKERHOFF & AVA GASKINS. Executive Produced BY KATE FUGITT

A Boy Like Me by Deana Taheri

Tom clones himself, creating Ben, who inherits Tom’s physical traits and traumatic memories. Tension mounts between Ben’s desire for independence and Tom’s protective instincts. Ultimately, Ben leaves home to forge his own path, leaving Tom to grapple with the repercussions of his decision.

Emerald Bay by Hera Hong, Maryam, produced by Maryam Fassihi & Kaitlin Griffin (DP)
