- Pedacito de Carne is a drama that follows Sandra, a young millennial caregiver for her mother, Antonia who is living with Frontotemporal Degeneration, a rare form of dementia. The disease is quickly progressing and both women have to adjust, grieve and cope with the awkwardness and helplessness of their new roles. Both women are haunted by Antonia's delusions, most viscerally of crocodiles stalking by. The pair embark on a journey to get answers on why they are not receiving vital benefits from social security. At the office they are met with the most complex system and rude burnt out workers, who drive Sandra to make a bold statement. A moment of light-hearted revenge ensues and gives Sandra a sensation of levity and connection with her Mom. High off their stint, Sandra runs into an old flame, who asks her out and ignites a desire that her instincts tell her to squelch. Ignoring her duties she takes the night off. The next morning in the wake of her night of respite, to Sandra's surprise, she is met by her mother, who is fondly unrecognizable.
- Ivar Tunnel: Shook Ones is a darkly comedic social thriller that glimpses into the psyche and isolation of a black woman. Our protagonist, Leigh Jones, has recently moved into a picturesque apartment building at the base of the Hollywood Hills, just beyond the Ivar Tunnel. Since moving to the area she's been bombarded with notifications from the NEIGHBORLIE APP about all the insidious happenings in Holly-hood. One post about an "unhoused" woman taking refuge underneath the Ivar Tunnel shakes something alive in Leigh that'd been lying dormant. Leigh takes counsel in her friend Nicole, who helps manage Leigh's intense curiosity for the unhoused woman and her deep resentment for how the people on the NEIGHBORLIE APP seem to rally around her. We discover that what's below the surface of Leigh's consciousness is a throbbing sense of inferiority that is exploded by the presence of the unhoused woman, along with the willful ignorance pouring from the people in closest proximity to her-her neighbors. After a night of conversation and drinks with Nicole, Leigh decides to confront the unhoused woman, which results in someone paying the ultimate price.
