*2pm Matinee, January 8


Imagine

By Ilana Lydia

Directed by John Perovich

Ever get the feeling all of reality has been created by two teenage boys? That's ridiculous, of course. But two teenage Bug-Eyed Monsters? Now THAT has merit. Find out what happens when one of them falls in love with his creation.

Trackers

By Chelsea Frandsen

Directed by Clayton Caufman

When you're tagged, you're tracked. Everywhere you go, everything you do, every thought in your head and word out of your mouth, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. You break the rules, you die. Literally.

Better Half

By Jessie Tully & Mia Passarella

Directed by Christina Maxwell

Discovering the past is never an easy task. But what happens when it leaves you questioning the life you created?

Last Minute

By Jaren Navenma

Directed by Zachary Arnold

How far would you go for someone you loved? Charley is trying to set up the perfect birthday surprise for his girlfriend, Beth, with the help of Carl, but Charley has a secret. Will he be ready in time with a little help from Carl, a poorly drawn poster board, and... voodoo?

The Chump Button

By Jamie Maletz

Directed by Devon Mahon

What happens when the one who writes your dreams gets writers block? You may find yourself trapped in your worst nightmare. And if you think someone's going to come save you...dream on.

Take Me Back

By Allison Bauer

Directed by Carolyn McBurney

Memories are precious. Some go to great lengths to relive them and some go to great lengths to get rid of them. How far would you go to hold onto something you never had?

WARNING! STRONG LANGUAGE and MATURE CONTENT. Not for children.
