Harana

In 1995 Las Vegas, a homesick cover band singer writes an original song to connect with her daughter who is growing up in the Philippines without her.

9 Rides

An Uber driver gets word that his fiancé might be cheating on him on New Years Eve and proceeds to give nine different groups of people rides and they influence his decision on how he handles the situation.

No Good Deed

While doing a friend a favour and searching for a runaway teenager, a police detective stumbles upon a bizarre band of criminals about to pull off a bank robbery. The screenplay by Christopher Cannan and Steve Barancik is based on the short story "The House in Turk Street" by Dashiell Hammett.

Ride or Die

Paula, whose California dreams intertwine with a reunion with her crush Jamie. A casual errand becomes a cathartic journey through the midwest, where a budding romance is transformed by a plot for vengeance.

Happy Ending

A secret from the past combined with the drudgery of everyday life in the company of sweating machos and patronising managers may turn out to be an explosive mixture worthy of Park Chan-wook’s cinema of vengeance and passion. But the film was made by young debutante Élodie Yung, who invites us for a ‘full body massage’ to a parlour where a young Cambodian immigrant is trying to earn money for a better life for herself and her family. Obviously, it is not her dream job and the clients can be excessively fussy. How long can you accept their demands, peevishness, quips, comments and ‘inappropriate’ requests? In this inciteful satire, drama is intertwined with poignancy and revenge has a spicy flavour.

Dot

On the day of her daughter's seventh birthday party, Trish discovers her mother, has been skipping her medications again. When she fails to show at the party, Trish must confront her own unrealistic expectations, her mother’s unraveling episode, and a slew of bewildered bystanders - all to keep her family safe before it's too late.
