Life Is About Losing Everything is a hybrid documentary, equal parts feminist artist portrait and fantastical memoir, exploring loss and love through the lens of pop culture and art. Based on Canadian poet Lynn Crosbie’s memoir of the same name, the film follows multiple fictionalized incarnations of Crosbie as they embark on a delirious journey through the writer’s memories and imagination, encountering celebrity lookalikes, an inch-tall man, uncanny high schoolers, and a Zombie Sylvia Plath along the way. Drawing on a wealth of pop and literary references, Life Is About Losing Everything reflects on the role of art and storytelling in finding kinship and giving meaning to our lives.

10 Minutes is a short film about grief, memory, and the fragile shape of time. Troy begins what should be the brightest day of his career, but everything shifts when he learns his mother is in critical condition. As he races home, a fallen hourglass from his childhood pulls him into the memories and advice she left behind, reminding him to breathe and stay true to himself when life becomes overwhelming. Through loss, family, and quiet reflection, Troy discovers how quickly a single moment can alter a life and how the smallest memories can carry the most weight. 10 Minutes captures the painful and beautiful truth that time can slip away, yet still leave echoes that stay with us.

Down on his luck, Cruz Ross tries to win all the money he needs at an underground card room to save his family. After winning more than enough, he's faced with the dilemma to go big or just go home.
