One of our narrative features, Take from Me centers of a small town where a man’s grief intersects with the arrival of woman as local residents start to disappear. As a late-night feature it shows the audience that everything is not what it seems and something may be lurking beneath the surface.

We were able to have a Q&A with Cory Mason, producer, to share behind the scenes information on this drama-filled, supernatural flick.

One of our narrative features, On Borrowed Time follows a journey of self-discovery after a man reinvents himself and reconnects with a woman who broke his heart, the only thing is that she doesn’t remember him after his weight loss. A time capsule of the early 2000s, this film is a feat twenty years in the making.

We were able to have a Q&A with Paul Perez, the writer, actor, and director to share more about his passion project.
