MAMA SHAKES HER MONEYMAKER

by STEPHEN BRACCO
Directed by PATRICK BLANNER
Featuring

When his late mama’s ashes start bouncing around in their funeral urn, Benny does what any grieving son would do: he charges admission to view the spectacle. Add a talking dolphin, doomsday prophet of the deep, wearing a trash necklace from the polluted sea, and you’ve got an irreverent Judgment Day comedy about grief, greed, and family. When life gives you bouncy ashes, start a side hustle.

CLOSER

By SADIE PILLION-GARDNER
Directed by ANNALISA D'AGUILAR
Featuring

Two sisters are forever trapped inside a painting. By day, they sit peacefully around a fountain, exchanging seemingly meaningless pleasantries. As night falls, their captor’s demands return. To keep the art fresh, and themselves alive, they must deliver monthly offerings. With the deadline approaching, the sisters clash, torn between morality and immortality. This haunting horror delves into the depth of a sister’s bond and asks: What wouldn’t we sacrifice to stay young forever?
