With Teeth (2021)
Kristen Arnett
"A darkly funny, brutally honest story about a woman undone by motherhood. Kristen Arnett grapples with the big questions: Is any child essentially unlovable? What does a happy ending look like? With Teeth digs in deep and doesn’t let go. I truly loved it."

And We're Off (2017)
Dana Schwartz
"A winsome, hilarious tale about losing the map and finding a better way to a happy ending. I loved it!."
