Beatrice

Synopsis:
When a young woman finds herself caught between desire and destiny, she resorts to desperate measures. Set in the early 20th century, "Beatrice" is a darkly comic rethinking of Thomas Middleton's "the Changeling," a feminist fable about a young woman's coming of age and longing to master her own romantic fate.

Flirting With the Deep End

Synopsis:
Michael runs the world's worst bookclub. Its three remaining members are either in the midst of a nervous breakdown, on the edge a mid-life crisis, or entangled in relationship woes -- and everyone is behind in the reading. For his part, Michael is consumed by anxieties over his failing bookstore and less-than-perfect marriage. In an attempt to put his business on the map, Michael has been vying for attention from the local paper, and they're finally showing interest. But the very thing that should turn his world around, ends up turning it upside down, when a meticulously planned evening goes completely awry.
