From the Woods
directed by Rebeca Conroy

When poetic teen sisters, Roxy and Clover, discover that there is more to life than they know of their music, lonely mansion, hunting, and taxidermy business- things become complicated and dramatic. The town "bad boy," Ethan, and "cool girl," Bianca force them to grow up and change the girls' perceptions of life and music for the better.

"From The Woods" is a whimsical, old-fashioned, quirky teen comedy set in small-town America with a sophisticated twist.

Blackout

directed by Sebastian Ischer, starring Chris McHenry, Susan Stewart, Brielle Korn, Will Carlough

After a night of heavy drinking, charismatic sociopath slacker Steve wakes up with a strange girl in his bed, and no memory of how she got there. To make things worse, his girlfriend Emily is on her way over. To extricate himself from a seemingly hopeless situation, Steve hatches a desperate plan, which tests his considerable abilities to deny the forces of reality.

I'm in You
An afro-punk noise-disco juggernaut invoking freaked-out rhythmic contortion as the only response to apocalyptic global dread.
