Fresh talent. Bold stories. Meet the next generation of local filmmakers.

The region’s hottest emerging talents bring us tales of a grieving man who sets out to gain an extra inch of height, a trans woman who unknowingly summons a demon to obtain gender-affirming surgery, a kid who conjures an imaginary motorcycle daredevil to deal with his parents’ divorce – and much more.

Films in this package: 5'12" (dir. Seth Gabrielsson), ACE (dir. Raymond Edwards), The Dysphoria (dir. Kylie Aoibheann), Lodestar (dir. Maxine Zanoni), Pack Rat (dir. Lucy Suess) and Pulp (dir. Sarah Hegge-Taylor).
