Fourteen
Twentysomething Brooklynites Mara and Jo have been close friends since middle school. Gradually, it becomes apparent that the increasingly unstable Jo has troubles that may be the result of substance abuse, or an even deeper problem. Over the course of a decade, the more stable Mara tries to help.

Wilk
A woman and her ex-boyfriend reconnect at the vet after their dog gets sick, as a new boyfriend experiences jealousy. “WILK,” directed by Peg, is an experimental comedy with its own absurd cinematic language and esoteric scene-building. Joseph watches from the car as his girlfriend, Tallie, is consoled by her ex outside the vet (while Joseph’s car has a penis spray-painted on it).

A short "making of" documentary for the stand out hit "Marlon Brando" by the incomparable Alex Cameron

In present-day Texas, Maya and her on again, off again girlfriend Jules total their car after a night of backwoods raving and teen mischief. They're rescued from the wreckage by Freddy, an oil worker whose stoic facade crumbles as he comes to see himself, and his repressed desires, in Maya.

Together, they subtly encourage one another to chase after what they want the most (or at least figure out what that might be).

Snowy Bing Bongs Across the North Star Combat Zone
Dance-comedy trio Cocoon Central Dance lounge about, pass gas, and periodically break into wondrously strange dance routines. Along the way, they face outer space interludes, a serious consideration of doctor boners, and a 90s-style girl group meltdown.

Notes on an Appearance
A young man disappears amid talk of violence and demagoguery, leaving behind an obscure cache of letters, postcards, and notebooks.
