Local Spotlight – The Feeling Remains: A Marin-born filmmaker unravels decades of family secrets and distorted memories, confronting the painful truths of a violent past in a compassionate search for understanding.
Pilot Premiere and Table Read – Bulldozer: An under-medicated, chronically impassioned young woman lurches from crisis to crisis—of her own making.
World Premiere – Lost Cause: A film about an allegorical musical about a Yom Kippur service that goes off the rails and transforms into an attempted community therapy session.
