- Let Go.

"Today is like any other Winter day. Snow's on the ground, there's a chill in the air, and Eli is about to confess to his childhood friend. Terrified of rejection, he practices his lines underneath a tree in the city, preparing for whatever may come. There's nothing to be afraid of - he's known her forever, right? But unbeknownst to him, something feels off… Hasn't he done this before?"

Features an evolving relationship, dark comedy and many first dates

- If in Your Dreams; the Flood

"The Flood. That's all Ophelia can think about. Ever since she was a young child she dreamed of the water, slowly making its way, higher and higher. Now she's about to turn eighteen, and the flood will soon overtake her. In a desperate attempt to avoid her fate, she stays awake throughout the night, wandering the late Seattle cityscape. It's there that she meets an unfamiliar friend."
