Mars vs. The Atom

Synopsis:
In January 1961, a B-52 Bomber broke apart in mid-air over Goldsboro, NC. Wings, pilots and debris fell to Earth. So did a pair of 4-megaton Mark 39 Hydrogen bombs. One was recovered, the second bomb was never found. It lies in a North Carolina swamp, fenced off by the American Military. Now: 27-year-old Adam grew up listening to the stories of the nuke next door. His doctors believe that Adam's fear of the bomb is mostly responsible from the adult-onset agoraphobia which has held him captive in his house for the past five years. When a late-night, freak storm brings a large tree crashing into his home, the outside world seeps in and Adam feels his safety net dwindling. His neighbors think Adam's finally gone crazy. Adam thinks he's being visited in the nighttime. Bizarre occurrences, strange lights and extreme paranoia compound one another until Adam is certain that the only way to protect his home from space invaders is with rogue, nuclear arms.

Night of the Living Deepwater Horizon

Synopsis:
Part puppet show, part zombie movie, this docu-drama/slasher flick mash-up combines first-hand accounts, newsreel footage and lo-fi charm to explore the 2010 Gulf Coast Oil Spill through the lens of George Romero's original Night of the Living Dead. A foxy boxing match that is both slippery and toxic!

Slut Shaming

Synopsis:
Lauren Lucas, time traveler, views her attack, the trial, the aftermath, her life-at-large simultaneously. She sees the woman she will become, the undamaged girl she once was, she learns how far into the future this event will consume her. And then she wakes up in the present, in high school, and she knows the struggles that lay waiting. Slut Shaming is a Time-Travel Rape Adventure that explores how teenage sexual assault is aggravated by small town communities. It offers few solutions but exposes a culture where anonymity hurts, where aggressors number in the thousands, where advocates are in short supply. It asks the question: What role does a community play in a single violent act? When are we the aggressor and how do we affect the healing process? The answer isn't simple. And it changes with time.
