Still Runs the River

Synopsis:
Shocks like Paw-Paw's death are not usually occurrences that bring out the best in families. Jesse, the elder brother, is saddled with a mountain of debt and mouths to feed. Wyatt, the younger brother, is on leave from the War in Iraq. they have disagreed about almost everything since childhood and their abduction of Paw-Paw's body is fraught with misgivings, not the least because of their concerns for the comfort of the deceased, their imaginative disagreements about the afterlife, and the shortness of time before Wyatt must report for re-deployment to Iraq. Still, they steal the body right from under their family's nose. With a sack of soil replacing Paw-Paw in his casket and the old man bouncing in the bed of the truck, they set out for the swampy woods near Bartow. there, in the sanctuary of the wilderness, they hope to provide Paw-Paw's spirit the serenity they seek for their own lives. Through a series of progressive vignettes, Still the River Runs paints with vivid strokes a cumulative portrait of two brothers who have become strangers, struggling to find their place in a world where real men are a dying breed.

Up, Up, Down, Down

Synopsis:
Twentysomething Joy's tranquil existence working in a video arcade is suddenly shattered when her long-estranged mother barrels back into her life, claiming to have stumbled onto a terrorist plot, the secrets of which are encoded in a video game she stole. at first Joy dismisses her mother's claims outright, but why is there a car now following them everywhere they go and who is the shadowy figure trailing them every step of the way? To find out what's real and what's not, and aided by a co-worker (and manic video gamer) she secretly loves, and her very best friend - who technically might not even exist - Joy may have to reveal a long-hidden secret in her past, before she loses everything she holds dear.
