Ghostbusters: Afterlife

When single mom Callie and her two kids Trevor and Phoebe arrive in a small Oklahoma town, they begin to discover their connection to the original Ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind.

I Saw the TV Glow

In late-90s suburbia, a lonely teenager meets a girl at school who introduces him to a mysterious late-night T.V. show — a vision of a supernatural world pulsing beneath their own. As time goes on, however, questions begin to arise about why the show sometimes seems more real than their own lives. In the pale glow of the television, their view of reality begins to crack.

Taxi!

A playful 3-minute vignette by American choreographer and filmmaker Celia Rowlson-Hall, Taxi! turns a maddening cab ride into a whirlwind of color and movement. This is the first in a series of shorts that Rowlson-Hall plans to make with her favorite dancers all over New York City – here with Or Schraiber spinning out to music by Mas Ysa.

Bat Out of Hell: The Musical

Step into the dystopian city of Obsidian, where a rebellious gang called The Lost can never grow old. At the heart of this rock opera is a fiery romance between their leader, Strat, and Raven, the sheltered daughter of the city’s tyrannical ruler, Falco—a love story as defiant as the music itself.
