It’s
the fifth century BCE and everything is normal in Almyros, Greece — everything
except Amphora (Alison Peltz), the hyper-phobic daughter of the town potter,
Sabas (Dale Camden). Consultation with the local physician, Kalarophallos
(Johnny DeBernard) is not productive, so Aunt Aeolia (Amanda Coran) steps in
and sees that Amphora is shipped off to Golden Age Athens, where she blossoms
under drama therapy. The Greek Chorus of Carrie Fisher-Coppola and Faye Zenoff
narrate the action.
Hard
Scrabble by Steve Koppman, directed by Sandi Weldon.
An
“emerging” teen (Jessica Flaum) tries to share some quality time with her
old-fashioned Dad (Alex Ross) by engaging him in a game of scrabble.
Panther
by Dylan Price, directed by Glenn Havlan.
Hiding
from police and on the run, Black (Gary Grossman), a tough and highly
experienced criminal, meets his boss’s female associate, Chick (Amber Kernohan)
in a café expecting to receive a gun, passport, and a bag of money. He
gets more than he bargained for.
What
Remains of Calvin Hayes Holmes by Linda Saldana, directed by Alex Kuskulis.
Police
Clerk, Rita (Carrie Fisher-Coppola), has nothing. Her sister Sandra (Hilda L.
Roe) has a husband, three kids, and a family plot already bought and paid
for. When detective Garcia (Randy Solomon) puts her in charge of a box of
ashes she sets out to determine just who Calvin Hayes Holmes was, and to return
him to his kin. But no one wants him. Not his aunt Lacy Hayes (Ann Armour), nor
his father Rev Jacob Holmes (Randy Solomon), or his ex-wife Yolanda (Anastasia
Pritchard). What is Rita to do?
