Big egos and fragmented alliances make for a potent cocktail, as the beautiful Damascus and ruthless Doctor FUNdamental steer the small talk to a shattering conclusion. Five heroes, one bar tab, zero do-overs.

AVERY, OFFLINE, Director: Rachel Whitaker

PLATONIC SOLID, Director: Sarah Downey
Parker and Madison, two would-be lovers, attempt to re-define the term 'soul mate' in this story of love, loss, coming out, and coming of age. PLATONIC SOLID investigates what sexuality means in a modern society and dissects the common, yet rarely discussed, theme of gay men and lesbian women dating each other. It chronicles growth and development, and all that goes along with embracing one's true identity.

After a series of further disturbing events, one afternoon the doorbell rings and it is Miriam. She tells Mrs. Miller she has come to live with her. Who is Miriam? Does she exist? Did Mrs. Miller imagine it all?
