Algonquin

A father-son camping expedition runs aground on misfortune and family secrets.

It Was You Charlie

A once accomplished sculptor, a former college art teacher, but now a lonely graveyard shift doorman, Abner Roth is sadly a mere shadow of his former self. Having lost the love of his life and haunted by the death of a woman in a terrible car accident a year ago, he is desolate and suicidal but amusingly so. Step in Zoe, a free spirited taxi driver with a large hart and persuasive disposition. Zoe's energy and outlook help Abner look at life anew and try to reconcile his conflicted past.

Do Not Bend

Sometimes even a monster home in the suburbs isn't big enough to contain the baggage of one complicated couple. Newlyweds Catye and Jason have it all: looks, excellent jobs, and a great big mortgage they can handle no sweat. There's only one hitch: they haven't consummated their marriage. "Do Not Bend" is the story of what happens when two people try to replace reality with a fantasy that is the opposite of their wildest dreams.
