| Synopsis: | Holly collects dolls. Holly is a born-again Christian. Holly is a fifteen-year-old, brainy, outspoken, spoiled, tyrannical brat. And she won't leave her basement. She's also pregnant. In this quasi-comedy about a quasi-adult, a memorable teen is confronted with the speeding train of maturity and a host of life-changing choices without time to consider the consequences. Without much guidance from her well-meaning, but inept father or her less-than-bright boyfriend, can Holly's real friends-her dolls-help her make the treacherous transition from child to adult or will the job require the touch of a special Homo sapien? | |||||

| Synopsis: | Like a Cow or An Elephant is the story of Kreena, a woman around thirty years of age, who works a job as a janitor in an office building—a job she cherishes—and lives in a house with her eccentric, history-obsessed mother. Kreena’s methodical, repetitive life is, in part, due to a mild developmental disability. Kreena also feels trapped by her mother’s controlling influence. Despite the obstacles she must confront, which also include a brother in narcotics rehabilitation, a new co-worker invading the private sanctuary of her job, and a mysterious stranger with secrets, Kreena can’t help but see the best in all people. In Like a Cow or An Elephant, Kreena must travel the difficult path from her safe shell to independence and self-actualization. | |||||
