Old Flames

Written by Ruby Stojanoff and directed by Elliot Stevens, this compelling western investigates the lives of two cowboys who end up sharing a fire for the night as they search for new beginnings and try to forget old misfortunes.

 

2ylvester 2teel 2: 2 Steel 2 Sylvester: Back Cat it Again: Meow and Forever: the Steelquel

Written and directed by Cassidy Hoffman, 222 continues the story of one of LAST year’s One-Acts, reviving the memorable (and adorably ridiculous) character of Sylvester Steel- a Kansas City Police Officer who thinks he’s a cat- while adding clever commentary about the obsessive world of modern fandom and greedy corporate overlords.
