White Elephant

Meet the Filmmaker

Ryan Whitney Copple

Writer/Director
Synopsis
White Elephant is a Hitchcockian inspired tale of a brother and sister who think they’ve committed the perfect crime of murdering their mother to protect their inheritance… until they receive a surprising gift at a white elephant party: the murder weapon. It's a comedic mystery that's less “whodunnit” and more “whoknowsit.”

In Our Blood

Meet the Filmmaker

Pedro Kos

Director
Synopsis
Nothing is as it seems when filmmaker Emily Wyland (Brittany O’Grady) teams up with cinematographer Danny (E. J. Bonilla) to shoot an intimate documentary about reuniting with Emily’s estranged mother after a decade apart. When her mother suddenly goes missing, possibly succumbing to the addictions that first tore her family apart, Emily and Danny must piece together increasingly sinister clues to find her before it’s too late. Directed by Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Pedro Kos (Rebel Hearts, Lead Me Home) in his first narrative feature, IN OUR BLOOD masterfully blends psychological mystery with chilling horror. The film weaves a twisted tale of reconciling with the ghosts of our past and confronting the complicity we share in creating a world that preys on the most vulnerable.

Recursive Dreams

Meet the Filmmaker

Max Vanderspuy

Writer/Director
Synopsis
Zin lives in a world where screens cease to exist, and curated memories uploaded directly to the mind are society's source of entertainment. Desperate for money to buy valuable medicine for her sick daughter, with the help of Ray, a small-time thief, the two break into the home of Ashim, a reclusive man who sleeps restlessly at night. During a late evening, Ashim dreams of his missing daughter, whom he lost years ago in a violent blizzard. Without his knowledge, in his living room, Zin operates a machine capable of trapping Ashim in an endless loop of his haunting memory. Using the loop to distract Ashim's busy mind, Zin and Ray extract Ashim's memories. A precious commodity that will sell well on the black market. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Ashim awakes and must confront the two thieves. Both will do anything to escape with their stolen goods, and Ashim will do anything to protect the memories of his daughter.
