Simon as Sergio
By Barney Lopez
Directed by Nathan Simpson-Coffelt
Simon pretends to be his brother, Sergio, online and falls in love with a Erin, a reporter from another school. When Sergio finds out, he re-assumes his digital identity and tries to make the online romance a reality by inviting Erin to prom.
Gas'N'Sips
By Irene Loy
Directed by Joe Alberti
Have you ever wondered what lies behind our actions? This story of clashing worldviews starts off in a convenience store and takes us into the inner and outer wilderness of America. A philosopher and a gossip queen battle it out as their hidden assumptions are revealed. Whether either of them can imagine life from the other's perspective--and what that would mean for them both--remains to be seen.
Fortune Cookies
By Kevin Hathaway
Directed by Rafael Gallegos
Fortune Cookies is a hilariously fresh look at what it means to find love. Three nights before his wedding, a disastrous fight and a mysterious fortune sends Brian and his quirky friends on a journey of self discovery that will end in the most unexpected place.
