      Appetite

      Written by Katherine Alberta
      Directed by Abigail Deser

      Featuring:  Chelsea Gonzalez, Megan Alexandra, Ryan Ashton, Julian Armaya, Sofia Vassilev and Ryanna Dunn

      An eclectic gaggle of social media influencers congregates in the woods for an elusive and exclusive retreat where they compete for early access to upcoming trends. This year? They’re being asked to market the newest product in health and wellness: human meat. The team’s ridiculous attempts to glamorize cannibalism offer a glimpse into the unsavory world of influencing. When do your career aspirations eclipse your personal values? Who do you become when you commodify your personality and your lived experience? And do we taste better grilled or airfried?

      HELLCATS

      Written by Casey Fleming
      Directed by Jamie Gallo
      Featuring: Casey Fleming, Jamie Gallo, Dominique Aguayo-White, Sabria Joaquin, Charleston Harvey, Kapil Kanagasabai,George Kingston, Ethan Haslam, Nations, Jeremiah Luke Taylor, Shane Weikel, Alexandra Tejada, Addison Lillard,
      In 1720, two of the only women ever convicted of piracy–Anne Bonny and Mary Read–were captured and tried. After sentencing, Mary died of a fever in prison. Anne Bonny vanished from history. No execution, no death record: nothing. What is believed about their lives now is almost entirely conjecture, and unprovable if you dig deep enough. Inspired by fact and woven together by fiction, HELLCATS imagines Anne and Mary’s meeting, unexpected love, and inevitable loss of one another. In the absence of truth, would it be so bad to pretend?
