Mr Jesus
Chris wakes up after a hard night to discover a group of revelers in his sister's yard. He's been staying at her house trying to get back on his feet after being fired from his first big movie role. They're there because a mysterious megachurch pastor has used Chris's image to create a GenAI Jesus app where you can confess all your sins, and now a growing crowd believes he's really the Second Coming.
Slimbo
Apollo has been slim all his life. When faced with an easy way to put on some pounds, he enters into an experimental program called "Get Possessed" where a God from the past possesses your body and exercises for you, while your existence is in Limbo. How could anything go wrong? After being possessed by a vindictive God, Apollo disappears, forcing Vice Summoner Boogabee Bastion, who is petitioning for his Golden Robes, to find Apollo before the God's new avatar slimes someone out.
CVNT
Marni is doing her best: she’s sober, she’s scrappy, and she would do anything for her baby daughter Mila. So when a surprise daycare bill hits and every door slams shut, she finds her solution in the most unexpected Craigslist ad she’s ever seen. Armed with a frozen milk stash, a ride-or-die best friend, and the street smarts she picked up in a past life, Marni pulls off a hustle that’s equal parts absurd, resourceful, and deeply human.
The Trophy King
Trip Mahoney, a financially sinking trophy salesman, owes a loan shark 15 grand. Trip finds out that his boss, Joe, has about 30 grand in cash stashed in the office safe. Trip has access to the safe, so if he can just get his colleague Maurice to pose as the robber, and Trip the victim of the robbery, it’ll provide the perfect alibi to take the money.
Trip successfully enlists Maurice in on the plan, but when Maurice brings in his wife, Ruthie, to take part in the crime, it ruptures from there. Trip denies Ruthie’s involvement because he can’t afford to split the money three ways. Maurice misinterprets this as a form of betrayal, so Maurice and Ruthie try to cut Trip out of the operation and do it behind Trip's back. During the double-cross, Maurice accidentally kills Joe, Trip’s boss. Trip does his best to manage the situation, but finds himself in a deeper hole than he started.
I Am Home

Set entirely within the dynamic confines of her loft—a physical manifestation of her inner world—the film explores themes of personal conflict, the pursuit of passion over obligation, and the search for identity amidst life’s chaos.
