après SKI SCHOOL
by Dan Joe
Après Ski \[ah-prey-skee\] His life is a total mess; hers isn’t. He’s never once been accused of overachieving and she doesn’t date losers. So when a potentially life-changing promotion is dumped on his lap, it appears his laid-back snow bumming days might be over, that is if he wants to prove he’s serious about her. *It might help if everyone would just be honest, but that doesn’t seem to be a running theme here*. Can Winston Mac change his ways before it’s too late? Before Erica is swept off her feet by country music’s hottest badboy at the most exclusive mountain party known to man? Will his old college rival spoil all the fun by setting him up and stealing the promotion out from under him? Will a knockout Norwegian supermodel show up just to test him in ways he didn’t think possible? *Love-triangle, anyone?* Or will his people-pleasing ways, ADHD and debilitating caffeine addiction get the better of him, forcing him to accept his role as a world-class loser? *Let’s hope not.*

by Judah Ray
INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY! Madison thought she was the only sane one in the house.\ \ Fourteen and isolated in a remote farmhouse ruled by her mother Faith’s rigid devotion, Madison is convinced the madness belongs to the adults around her.

Faith stands between doubt and doctrine.\ \ Certain she is being suffocated by religious extremism, Madison secretly launches a livestream channel to expose her mother to the world. The followers grow. The comments validate her. And no one in the house knows they are being broadcast live.\ \ When Grace convinces Faith that Madison’s rebellion is something darker, prayer turns to accusation. Accusation turns to restraint. An exorcism unknowingly unfolds live as viewers watch religious fanaticism spiral out of control.\ \ This may seem like just another story about a rebellious teenager and her controlling mother. Another story about faith gone too far.\ \ But the footage tells a different story.\ \ UNORTHODOX is a claustrophobic psychological horror about faith, rebellion, and a mother who refuses to abandon her child, even when the world calls her crazy.
