SKIN HUNGRY
Ruth is a 74-year old woman.
Rowan is a 23-year-old man.
They’re in love.
And Ruth’s 43-year-old son is freaking the hell out.

COME FIND ME
Ilda talks to people who aren’t there.
Tilly hears fingers clawing at her door.
All the while, the moon keeps her watchful eyes on them.

Come Find Me is a time-hopping, feminist ghost story spanning two time periods. As it weaves its way through the halls of Trenton Psychiatric Hospital in 1907 and the tumultuous summer of 1969 we discover the secret-laden lives of three women and how their worlds intertwine.

BRANCHED
Ben is having a difficult week. After five whole years of “drinking from Mommy’s boobies,” he suddenly has to step aside for his new baby sister, Beatrice, who may or may not be human. Mommy says he has to “support her appearance no matter how humiliating it is for us as family,” but that’s hard to do when your sister has branches for arms and legs. Plus, he just found out that Daddy is having “the sex” with his new kindergarten teacher and he’s not sure how to tell Mommy. As a five-year-old entrepreneur, Ben prides himself on always staying cool under pressure, but this time... he may just burst.

THE NET WILL APPEAR
Two rooftops in suburban Ohio. A 75-year-old man and a 9-year-old girl sit on houses full of secrets. Literally. Bernard wants nothing more than to enjoy his beer (and perhaps kill a few sparrows), but Rory next door has different plans for him. With six decades between them and only four chance encounters to connect, these unlikely new friends unearth what's buried in each other and find new ground.
