Sand

Synopsis:
In a Middle Eastern desert, three American soldiers guard a seemingly abandoned gas station. Trapped in a confusing, monotonous and sometimes terrifying occupation, they confront powers foreign and domestic, secular and divine, real and imagined. as past blurs with present and reality dissolves, boundaries between friends and enemies break down with horrific results. a complex, semi-expressionistic take on the consequences of modern war.

Wade The Bird

Synopsis:
Wade has always been the funny guy at his high school. But lately he's been acting weird -- talking to paper bags, yelling at teachers, and getting suspended. His friend Lisa begins to have recurring dreams of Wade jumping off bridges and turning into a bird. When Wade confides that he wants to die, his friends are met with an unexpected situation, forcing them to push their trivial fights aside, band together, and help Wade. In the process, they learn more about themselves, and each other, than they ever expected.
