THE DIRECTOR’S CUT (2005) (11:25 min.) - by Jason Lapeyre
Starring: Mike Bell, James Durham
It’s a bad day on set for notorious hack director Tobias Sheldrake. His usually-unstoppable will runs headfirst into the stubbornly immovable ego of rising star Alex Winfield.

THE STRAWBERRY CONFESSION (2008) (7:00 min.) - by Talia Pura
Starring: Talia Pura, Darcy Fehr, Wayne Nicklas
Arlene is a woman who is very long on opinions, but short on life experience. One of her greatest joys and most heartfelt obligation is her daily trip to her local parish priest, for confession. He is the one person in her life who is obliged to sit and listen to whatever she wants to unburden herself of. Generally, this leads to nothing more than yawn-inducing trivialities. However, today’s confession goes in a completely unexpected direction, jolting her priest awake in spite of himself.
