Artistic Character
When a quiet artist spends his time daydreaming of his muse, he inadvertently sets in motion a series of actions that he has no control of. A quiet life suddenly upturned with each event and with consequences.
Scones
Julie, a mid twenties business analyst, finds herself wondering whether she’s made the right choices in life after her sister, Emma, interrupts her presentation prep to tell her that she is headed to Peru to work on an alpaca farm. Insult is added to injury when Julie’s presentation at work the next day fails to garner the accolades she was expecting. Her co-worker Rose, however, has the perfect plan to reignite Julie’s passion by helping her fulfill her dream of opening her own bakery. Unfortunately, Rose has ulterior motives and Julie and Emma must work together to salvage their relationship when things go sideways.
Vacuum
A human vacuum snorts a never ending line of cocaine through a vapid party in the Hollywood Hills. ‘LESS THAN ZERO” meets “HANSEL AND GRETEL”. A satire about Los Angeles as a…VACUUM.
Pretty On Pitch
After being humiliated and accused of having poopy pants on live TV, two former reality singing show contestants agree to be followed by a documentary crew in hopes of one last shot at being taken seriously. While trying to prove themselves successful when everyone still seems to be laughing at them, they stumble into an unexpected challenge to write a song on the spot. In this fever dream of a musical comedy, the power of desperation and friendship certainly blurs the lines of reality.
Rescue
A newly adopted puppy contemplates his escape from the couple he thinks kidnapped him.
Greed
A revolutionary message for women everywhere to break the binds of their patriarchal overlords, dispel the myth of greed and take what is rightfully theirs.
Men take heed, a reckoning is coming.
