Ask Someone Else, God

Synopsis:
Jonah is simultaneously God's prophet and an average person, a chosen messenger resisting his calling and a burned-out businessman working through personal issues. Just as he's finally escaped the clutches of dehumanizing urban life and the suffocation of a middle class lifestyle, God commands him to return to Nineveh with a message of repentance. Jonah journeys first away and then towards his destiny through a kaleidoscopic dreamscape that evokes the worlds of folktales, Kafka, and the Marx Brothers. And there's that whale part.

Helix 999

Synopsis:
In the future, genetically-produced people walk among us. It is Rick's job to erase this dirty little secret. . .then, he gets to know one. In Helix 999, Raymond Chandler's hardboiled world unfolds in a Philip K. Dick future. Rick is a self-loathing agent for a genetics conglomerate that has clandestinely embedded genetic creations in the public sector while awaiting government approval for their products. Rick's job is to retire malfunctioning models without raising suspicions. Amanda, his latest case, has somehow discovered that she is a Genome Inc. product. Faced with the prospect of a huge scandal, the CEO puts the squeeze on Rick to find out who tipped-off Amanda. Or else. How far will Rick have to go?

Spring's Awakening

Synopsis:
Spring's Awakening depicts the onset of puberty as violent and chaotic. Reptilian impulses erupt in children who are terrorized by an adult world sunk deep in neurotic denial. Spring's Awakening is no after-school special. One boy has suicidal tendencies as he struggles with his shock over the facts of sexual reproduction and the possibility of flunking at school. Another boy expresses his awakening libido in cool sadism. Masochistic impulses appear in a young girl whose mother still asserts that a stork delivers babies. This clash between children and adults unfolds in an absurdist atmosphere that foreshadowed Brecht and Beckett
