This documentary delves into the rich legacy of Chinese porcelain, tracing its origins, craftsmanship, and profound global impact. It focuses on how porcelain became a symbol of status and global trade, particularly among early American merchants following the Revolution. Porcelain connected distant cultures through challenges such as the Canton System and perilous voyages, influencing family legacies and material histories in places like Salem, Massachusetts. The film emphasizes porcelain's role not only as exquisite artwork, but also as a symbol of human connection, heritage, and everyday joy.

A woman (Maureen Renee Hughes) discovers a dead body, only to learn that it is hers. An empty shell equivalent to her own hollow existence. Pushed to embark on a process of rebirth, she unexpectedly finds strength in her past and future selves (Josie Oberton and Jan Waldman, respectively). A meditative take on the existential notion “existence precedes essence,” QUIETUS attempts to explore our human struggle to accord meaning to our lives.

BLOOD HIGHWAY is an action/horror short film in the tradition of classic 70s grindhouse cinema, following Ashley (Herlín Navarro) and Leon (Kevin O. Peterson) — two bikers hell-bent on revenge against the serial killer Richardson (Jack Shipley) after a deal goes sour, only to discover that he is hiding a terrifying undead secret in his house.

An intentional throwback to old-school, practical filmmaking and in-camera effects, BLOOD HIGHWAY was filmed primarily on purpose-built sets at The Space Studio, and features special effects and makeup from Scott C. Miller. Composer Clark Rhee (DREAMERS) returns with a dark, synth-heavy score. BLOOD HIGHWAY will screen on 16mm prints where available.
