A man whose schizophrenia has taken hold of him becomes a danger to himself and his brother who is trying to talk him down from doing something fatal.

Hide | 16m | Brenden Hubbard | USA
From the Academy Award winning team behind "Curfew." Still reeling from an incredible loss, a father (Shakey Graves) and daughter cling to a bedtime routine keeping them safe in a town where an unfathomable horror visits its inhabitants night after night.

Cockroach | 13m | Paolo Mancini, Daniel Watchorn | Canada
Beth and Sergio are ecstatic to begin their journey as new parents. However, caring for a baby with its many sleepless nights proves to be a challenge to their relationship and sanity. Not to mention a cockroach infestation within their walls. They struggle with the tribulations of parenthood and postpartum as the roaches infest their home, their lives and eventually much, much more...

Happy Hour | 6m | Andrea Ramolo | Canada
During happy hour at the only bar in town, a newlyweds' quarrel collides with a belligerent bigot - until a strange girl by the juke-box decides that last will come early tonight.

My Dinner With Victor | 9m | Andrew Chiu
Jimmy still has a crush on his childhood best friend Victor. When the two finally meet after a long absence, a cultural mix-up leads to hilarious -- and deadly -- consequences. A light-hearted exploration of brotherhood, culture, with a bit of blood!
