Bench Seat
Anna Mastro | USA | 2011 | 19m
A classic love story with a musical twist choreographed by Chris Judd and written by Neil LaBute, this film catches a young couple on the verge of either moving forward or breaking up. While the girl envisions a happy future with her boyfriend, he imagines quite the reverse.

Come Sit Stay
Jody Oberfelder | USA | 2010 | 7m

Pooh Kaye
