Fiction shortfilm
Ready or Not takes a terrifying situation and has a fun time with horror components. The film melds horror and comedy, creating a cinematic hybrid that flows like running water. Instead of being a film that embraces gut-wrenching sensibilities, it perfectly taps into the energetic nature of hide and seek.

"Thunder Road" presents the grief that comes from a family member taking their own life.
This film is based off of The Diary of a Young Girl, which was written during the Holocaust period.

In Tall Girl, Jodi learns to stand tall and find confidence within.
