4 Parties, 17min., USA
Directed by Warren Myers
Over the course of a year, Vince and Mia keep crossing paths, drawn together by sharp humor, shared tastes, and mutual disillusionment. As they orbit each other through messy relationships, bad habits, and unexpected moments of connection, “4 Parties” traces the fragile, funny, and bittersweet ways strangers become something more.

You Will Fold, 11min., UK
Directed by R.E. Wolfe
Turning the concept of the ‘Five Love Languages’ on its head, we use a somewhat abstract lens to look through the eyes of a modern couple as we explore the different languages that we use to fight with one another.
