The Sisterhood Of Night
Director, Jeffrey Moss, USA
In a small midwestern town, young girls have formed a secret nocturnal society and taken a sacred vow of silence. When thirteen-year-old Emily Gehring is initiated and then sends a letter of confession to the local paper exposing the girls as deviants, controversy ignites and the leader of the girls, Mary Warren, appears on television to refute Emily Gehring’s claims. But when society member Lavinia Hall commits suicide, Emily Gehring retracts her confession, claiming she lied. These ambiguities leave the adults of the town in a quandary, leading them to fiercely debate what it is that the girls are doing in the middle of the night—and what should be done about it.

FREEDOM STATE
Director, Cullen Hoback, USA
If the world has ended, then the end must be found. Armed with a short bus and led by a disenfranchised housewife who views normal as crazy; eight mental health home patients must rebuild society and save any survivors on their journey to the end. It’s about quests. It’s about space. It’s about crazy love.
Entry Level
Director, Douglas Horn, USA
After losing his restaurant, chef CLAY MAGUIRE (played by DB Sweeney) must start his career all over again…at the bottom. Pushing forty with no “corporate skill-set”, Clay enters the strange world of the Unemployable Interviewees of America.
He soon meets others who share his plight–LIZ (delightfully embodied by Missie Pyle), who spent her youth traveling in the Peace Corp and now finds that experience digging wells in Bangladesh isn’t exactly what corporate America is clamoring for; BOB a manufacturing engineer who lost his pension when the company went bust and now finds that 64 is too old to get hired as an administrative assistant and too young for a Wal-Mart greeter; and CHARLIE (Tyler Negron in a very down-to-earth performance), whose job as a corporate hiring manager is so miserable that he only hires interviewees he hates because working at his company should be a form of punishment.
Spurred along by the total lack of encouragement by his job counselor SAM, the self-serving “wisdom” of his homeless buddy NICK (”That 70’s Show”, solid character “go-to-actor”, Kurtwood Smith), and the most bizarre series of job interviews imaginable, Clay and his fellow job-seekers strive for dignity, success, or at least a job taking customer service calls from prison inmates for minimum wage.
A hilarious, insightful look at job interviews, finding the courage to start all over, and life at the ENTRY LEVEL.
