Nathaniel Eyde UNION GUYS

Union Guys started as a short play being performed in New York. Inspired by the very real Detroit Newspaper Strike, it has since been adapted into a short film and a feature-length screenplay.  The film's relevance to the struggle of labor unions is more prominent than ever before, with the recent wave of challenges to unionized labor across the country. At its core, the story is about a few men and their struggles with loyalty to each other, to themselves, and to their jobs. In the broader scheme, this is a story about America, about immediately relevant current events, and about the complexity of fighting for any cause.

Allyson Schwartz FIRST PERIOD

Being thirteen is the worst thing that could happen to Libby. She is a social outcast in her class, her only friend is living on planet fashion, her crush on Kyp is futile since he is dating the prettiest girl in school and doesn't even know she exists. To make matters worse, she has to give a presentation in class; which is when she and the rest of her class realizes that Libby has just gotten her first period. Libby then begins her odd, lonely and traumatic journey into womanhood. It's a coming of age story for all of us with an awkward 13-year-old girl still living inside.

Fifteen-year-old Owen Norris is at the top of his graduating middle-school class, and wants to know how the world works. He has no friends, spends almost all of his time studying, and has an almost nonexistent relationship with his white-collar parents, whom he sees for ten minutes a day. 

But his boring suburban life changes when, he meets Congressman Lawrence Connor and his young nephew Caleb. Connor is immediately taken with Owen’s intelligence and wit, and Caleb is immediately taken with Owen. As Caleb and Owen become close friends, Connor offers Owen a chance to learn how the world of politics really works by acting as his “youth campaign spokesman” for the upcoming Senate primaries. 

What starts as a fun way to make some extra summer cash takes a dark turn as Owen learns the frightening truth about the deranged secret world of politics in which he is now involved.
