SUM OF US
Dir. Anthony Meindl
Sum of Us intertwines 10 connected stories across generations that deconstruct the myths surrounding the creative journey and what it truly means to be a storyteller.
Part La La Land (without the music) meets Lars von Trier's Dogville, Sum of Us is a self-reflective experience that demonstrates that our beliefs about art, acting, ourselves and the cosmos are not always what we think they are.

THE WEDDING
Dir. Fiona Rose Stout
Lauren has friends, and family, and a life; she knows she does. But she can’t quite seem to reach them. Something’s happened, and she can’t quite say; she keeps trying to push through, but the more she tries to move forward the more she gets stuck in the past.
The Wedding is about how hard it can be to find your voice, when everyone believes one truth and you know another. It’s about isolation, and connectivity; about what matters, and what holds us back. It is a story of resilience, of being loved and being lost.
