Rich Hill, Missouri, could be any of the countless small towns that blanket America’s heartland, but to teenagers Andrew, Harley and Appachey, it’s home. As they ride their skateboards and go to football practice, they are like millions of other boys coming of age. The boys, however, are faced with difficult circumstances - isolation, instability and parental unemployment. With no road map, they cling to the hope that even they can live the American dream. Winner of the 2014 Sundance Grand Jury Prize, “Rich Hill” is a moving and inspirational portrait of the challenges, hopes and dreams of rural America’s youth.

“Love is Strange” is about characters Ben and George spending nearly four decades together and finally “tying the knot” in an idyllic wedding ceremony in lower Manhattan.

When George loses his job soon after, the couple must sell their apartment and temporarily live apart until they can find an affordable new home.

While George moves in with two cops who live down stairs, Ben lands in Brooklyn with his nephew, his wife and their temperamental teenage son with whom Ben shares a bedroom. While struggling with the pain of separation, Ben and George are further challenged by the intergenerational tensions and family dynamics of their new living arrangements.
