To Chris Marker, an Unsent Letter (2012)

Shakti’ is a survival guide for women all over the world.

The clever but socially-awkward Tetê joins a new school, and she'll do anything to fit in.

Hope has great characters, inventive ideas, an incredible imagination, a palpable intensity, and numerous other aspects that make it one of the best of the year. 

Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix.
