YOSEMITE
Written by Daniel Talbott
Directed by Pedro Pascal

Siblings Ruby, Jake, and Jer spend their Saturday in the snow-covered woods behind the trailer park where they live in the Sierra Nevada foothills. They search for a way to escape or be rescued from their lives as they attempt to bury their latest casualty, and the snow continues to fall as the world sinks in on them.

THE TRUTH WILL OUT
Written by Jordan Seavey
Directed by Josh Hecht

A celebrity journalist is covering the one-year anniversary of the hate-motivated murder of a 15 year- old boy (inspired by the real-life story of a boy murdered for propositioning a classmate). As their two stories intertwine, questions arise about identity, media, love, hate, and the narratives that we create for ourselves to keep our true natures hidden.
