The films:
DATING AUDREY
DATING AUDREY is the story of Pete Trumbull, a nostalgic young man who spends too much time wallowing in self-pity and living in the past. After a night of bingeing his late mother’s Audrey Hepburn films, Pete wakes up to find Audrey there with him, attempting to help him move forward. The lesson Pete learns from their time together is that yearning for the past only delays one’s future.
THE SNOW IS ALWAYS WHITER
THE SNOW IS ALWAYS WHITER tells the story of Khulan Batbold, a rising New York fashionista at the top of her game but trapped in an abusive relationship with her artist fiancé Kyle Glatt. When Kyle misses their lunch date, suspicion of his relapse mounts, and a turbulent clash that evening sets in motion an elaborate plan for her escape. With nowhere left to turn, Khulan sacrifices it all to secretly return home to Mongolia.
DOMINO SPRINGS
DOMINO SPRINGS tells the story of Erich Murphy, a troubled mechanic who ropes his best friend Bryan Spencer into helping him dispose of the body of small-town waitress Andrea Reyes. On their way back to San Diego from Bryan’s bachelor party in Reno, the two stumble into some Friday night trouble in Big Pine and race their way across the Mojave Desert to dispose of the body. As they enter the town of Domino Springs, things take a curious turn. What they encounter is far more than expected as they ultimately fight each other to survive the penance for their actions.
