Parkland Rising
On February 14, 2018, a lone shooter opened fire on a Florida high school. In a fight that has become epic, the survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre have responded with defiance, eloquence and bravery. Parkland Rising follows these remarkable young people and the parents of the victims as they take on those responsible for the lack of gun control laws: Politicians who accept gun lobby money, gun manufacturers and the National Rifle Association.

#LIKE
In this Woodstock-based, feminist noir thriller, director Sarah Pirozek presents a tale that is equal parts shocking and relevant. #LIKE shines a light on the more disturbing aspects of modern internet culture. On the anniversary of her younger sister‘s death, high-schooler Rosie creates a fake online profile through which she hopes to snare the man she believes is responsible. In her hunt to bring him to justice, she becomes increasingly unhinged, willing to take drastic measures.

Wendi McLendon-Covey (Bridesmaids, Reno 911 and The Goldbergs) creates a moving portrait of Cathy, an OCD, middle-aged woman, struggling to maintain control and significance amid fears her husband is having an affair and her thirteen-year-old daughter is becoming estranged.
