- O Pioneer reckons with and redefines the American pioneer. By definition, a pioneer is a leader, a trailblazer, a pathfinder; all of which can sound lofty and unreachable. Surely, the title of pioneer is reserved for other people-'important people.' But therein lies the problem. Too often we leave the solving to others when in reality our own hands can positively impact life's journey. O Pioneer follows three West Virginians-a blacksmith, a seamstress, and a hospital chaplain-as they creatively navigate hardship. Weaving narration with archival pioneer footage, candid moments from each subject, poetic vignettes, and dream-like animation, O Pioneer asks viewers to courageously champion the pioneer within.

- "Born in a Ballroom," explores the relationship between the Hütte Restaurant, its founder, Eleanor Mailloux, and the rural Appalachian village she called home, Helvetia, West Virginia. The night of Eleanor's birth on March 29, 1917, the small log cabin her parents owned caught fire. Her mother ran to the plantation home nearby to give birth to little Eleanor on the ballroom floor. Entering this world with gusto, Eleanor often lamented, "I was born in a ballroom, and I've been dancing ever since." Eleanor went on to teach, work for the Red Cross, travel the world, raise a family of five, and co-found The Hütte Restaurant in her rural hometown of Helvetia, WV. The Hütte is a Swiss restaurant that is nationally acclaimed both in print and in television (see The Hütte featured on Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern"). The Hütte reflects Eleanor and Helvetia's heritage through its food, decor, and culture. As we explore this exceptional woman and place, we discover, now forty years later, how one woman embraced a community through food and perhaps a dance or two. Eleanor passed away on March 9, 2011 just twenty days shy of her 94th birthday. Even though the filmmakers cannot directly interview Eleanor for this film, they have collected old interviews and news footage to fill that void. Furthermore, The Hütte, Helvetia, and Eleanor's family and friends confidently and seamlessly convey her story. Generally, the film follows The Hütte's story through the seasons while weaving Eleanor's voice and image throughout.
