Unmerciful Good Fortune

High-end celebrity attorney Maritza Cruz is pulled into a headline-making case involving Fatima, a cunning young waitress who is accused of serial poisoning and murdering 28 people. Fatima's defense takes a darkly mysterious turn when she claims to have the psychic ability to see how someone will die when she touches them and reveals she is killing people to prevent a "fate worse than death."

American Kensho: Manifest Destiny

American Kensho is a series about Buddhist practitioners in genre situations, often also involving queer relationships and the insights of queer theory. American Kensho: Manifest Destiny, the first film in this series, is a horror/thriller piece where Sarah, our Zen Buddhist protagonist, and Julia, her pagan lover, battle with mindfulness and magic an oppressive cult attempting to assault their very souls. The writer/director provides a disclaimer for the viewer that while xyr personal Zen Buddhist practice guides the production of this ongoing project, it is an attempt to sort out the relationship of that practice to the world, and does not comprise any sort of Buddhist teaching in itself.
