Good Year For Hunters

Synopsis:
a mysteriously orphaned brother and sister fall in love with a closeted husband and wife. a darkly comedic landscape of fractured time, where yearning becomes nightmare. a world of secrets where memory relentlessly rewrites history and traumatic loss is endlessly looped. a queer horror story of deferred adulthood. Inspired by Tori amoss seminal 1992 album Little earthquakes, the soundtrack of co-creators Chris Giarmo and Jess Barbagallo's teenage years. This is part of Ice Factory 2012.

Grey-eyed Dogs

Synopsis:
a mysterious ditch littered with broken glass. a one-eyed driver with lascivious intentions. a nappy piss-dog named Mister Samantha. Grey-eyed Dogs is not a story of redemption, but it is a story about senseless pursuits and backdoor sensations plus a little fur on fur. . .Join a boy named Sheep as she journeys home in the midst of an emotional rainstorm-if she can make it before the booze runs out and the love goes sour. a kitchen-sink Drama that can't afford the sink

Saturn Nights

Synopsis:
Linda's just come home and Dad is still comatose near a mysterious hole in the backyard. When daughter Dallas climbs down to get a better look at what's happening underground, the inevitable chain reaction of events rocks her dying religious community to its core. Saturn Nights is a meditation on longing, examining ideas of national, sexual, and personal identity across a surreal and particularly American topography. Intensely familiar and grotesque characters drawn from the stock of the American media machine expose the fragility of those at the margins in the face large groups and loud voices. Barbagallo's vast, visually and aurally detailed landscapes occasion sound and video design that integrate grit and squalor with lyric elegance. The domestic, humorous, and at times obscene vocabulary articulates a world that is political without being pedantic, and pushes the limits of theatrical storytelling.
