Draper's Eye, The

Synopsis:
the Draper's eye features a chilling tale of obsession focused around a fabric shop in the Garment District of New York where women appear to be vanishing into folds of fabric. The Draper's Eye was intended as a tribute to New York's Garment District and an expose of its current economic demise, but it can also be perceived as a metaphorical exploration of the conflicted feelings in a family where death is imminent; as well as a musing on the metaphysical implications of recent theories in physics; and the effects of globalization on American industries.

the infant esperanza's mother dies in childbirth, and esperanza is given an artificial heart but not expected to live. Her father, Don Hilardo, sequesters esperanza at Villa Leche, his ideal of heaven on earth, filled with a bevy of voluptuous nursing mothers to care for her until the dreaded day arrives.

Island Of Outcasts

Synopsis:
forwards us 20 years into a future of reverse evolution. On the island of Delfina, a microbiologist, Gwendolyn (in a snappy portrayal by Lindsay Haynes) awakens to find her body covered with a silvery iridescence. Worried about pollution and climate change, Gwen injected her womb with her own DNa to give birth to a child . . .smarter than we were. Now six months pregnant but flat bellied, Gwen can only keep the fetus from violently kicking her by swallowing fish whole and swimming daily in the ocean. a Caribbean midwife, MirabElla Fontaine, (projected by dynamic-voiced Danielle Drakes) lightens the ominous tone by observing that even though Gwen smells like a fish, she radiates like the angel for the Christmas tree.
