AUGUST LEAVES (Feature Film) Inspired by a true story. After finding his father dead of a heart attack on the highway, the youngest son struggles to cope with his fathers death and accept that his relationship with and memories of his father do not match those of his family. It’s a story of love, grief, connection and how we choose to remember those who leave us behind.
THE DARK END OF THE HALL (Short Film) When Emilie, a recently orphaned child, suffering from grief and PTSD, arrives at Remsen Home for Troubled Girls, she is met with little understanding and constant torment from her peers. As her need for connection grows she wanders farther and farther into “safety”, the depths of her psyche, the dark end of the hall, where witches and evil are said to live. But how far down the hall can she go until there is no return and she is lost in the dark forever?
The film combines the lore of Brooklyn witch trials with the dark end of the human psyche.
