A.W.O.L. stars David Morse (The Green Mile, Dancer in the Dark) who plays a captured American soldier in the midst of torture in Vietnam. At the height of his agony he awakens to find himself living an idyllic life in the US with his beautiful wife and children he’s never met.

Daydreams & Nighthawks is a visual essay pairing the works of American master Edward Hopper with lines from classic American film noir.

Plainfield native Christopher Allen Francis presents Ecclesiastes – a taut political thriller about a young representative who is ready to announce her radical new energy plan for the United States and a young assassin trying to provide for his family.

In Getting Lucky (written and produced by Indianapolis-native Stacy Marr), a woman fed up with her non-existent love life tries her luck on an Internet dating service where she gets more than she bargains for.

Two estranged brothers try to recapture their past on a long-promised surfing trip in When the Tide Turns.

Michelle Meeker’s When I Grow Up juxtaposes the boundless ambition of youthful expectations with the unpredictable, and sometimes tragic realities we end up living. An international team of 12 animators each bring their unique visions to a series of interviews with children and elders.
