Taken Out of Time
Danny, Gavin, and Lee have been best friends since they bonded over a stolen comic book at their elementary school’s annual book fair -- and subsequent detention. These guys are now broke 20 somethings in college, stealing hearts instead of books this time around. Being the adventurous types, they always find interesting things to do during spring break. Unfortunately for them, Danny’s idea for the gang to go on a college field trip to Stonehenge, would prove to be their most challenging quest. It must be tough going from beach parties to fighting all manner of fairy-tale things. But of course, everyone knows that druids, elves, and ogres are all just fantasy beings…right?

Not Sure What To Call it
This coming-of-age comedy sees our adolescent main character Tyler Arbuck navigate a very eclectic delusion in which he believes, he is currently navigating his life in the form of a movie and or television series. This very meta coping mechanism was birthed when amidst the confines of tragedy Tyler found himself glued to the television, searching for refuge amongst characters, plot lines, and suspended disbelief. Appliy named “Not Sure What To Call It '' (for the very real issue of Tyler not knowing what to call the show that is his life) starts with Tyler integrating his misconception into his early years of high school. Even amongst growing concerns from his parents and brother, he persists that all cameras keep rolling. This truly heartwarming tale of overcoming adversity by wildly enhancing perspective, where the Christmas special, is really a Christmas special. And the scary episodes aren't just smoke and mirrors. Despite the oddity, Tyler begins to touch those around him by seeking a fitting end to each rising concern, just like a really good storyline should. Through laughs, tears, and real unmitigated humanity he convinces those closest that life really is like a movie, it's up to you to change the script. The fourth wall can't be broken because it never existed.
