Home
Director, Brian Plow, USA
When the plan was announced to level a low-income neighborhood and build a minor league baseball stadium in downtown York Pennsylvania, it was heralded as the beginning of a comprehensive, city-wide redevelopment vision. Home is a story of an American urban space and its struggle to survive. It is also the story of one woman, who left her home of 50 years to make way for baseball, and her struggle to start over.

Stellina Blue
Director, Christina Mauro, USA
Stellina Martin leads a reclusive and mundane existence, exactly how she likes it.
But in a single moment everything changes. Shot during a failed robbery attempt, she fights for life during a month-long coma and awakens to find she has been given a second chance… and an extraordinary gift. The normally withdrawn Stellina must now engage other people and discover what life is really about. Are we defined by the realities around us or can inexplicable events become the definition of who we are? Stellina must now decide and in the course of doing so forever change the lives of those around her.
