🎬🎬🎬 SURVIVING THE WEEKEND 🎬🎬🎬

One weekend. One city pushed past the breaking point.

SURVIVING THE WEEKEND is a grounded ensemble drama set in the fictional city of Ashport, where Friday through Monday becomes a chain of shootings, grief, fear, bad decisions, survival, and families trying to hold together while violence moves from block to block.

By the end of the weekend, 109 people have been shot. Nineteen are dead. Ninety are wounded. But the story is not about statistics. It is about the people behind every number, the choices that put them in danger, the strangers who cross paths, and the families forced to live with what happens next.

No superheroes. No easy answers. Just one city trying to survive the weekend.

🎬🎬🎬 SECOND SKIN 🎬🎬🎬

Almer Hughes is a broke young valet in Pasadena whose life changes after a failed robbery lands him in jail. There, he discovers that skin to skin contact can pull him into another person’s memories, emotions and, under certain conditions, even their physical experience.

At first, Almer sees the ability as a way out. He can experience money he never had, confidence he never felt, and lives he never earned. But every borrowed life comes with a cost.

The more he uses the ability, the more his body begins to break down. Tremors. Weakness. Seizures. Confusion over which memories belong to him.

Then Glasshouse, a covert intelligence program, discovers what he can do.

When billionaire wellness mogul Amariah Luck and her young son are pulled into the conflict, Almer finds himself caught between surveillance, kidnapping, buried family history and people willing to destroy him to understand his power.

Now he has to decide whether the ability to become anyone is worth losing the person he actually is.

SECOND SKIN is a grounded psychological sci fi thriller about identity, addiction, class, family, intimacy and power.

🎬🎬🎬BANTA: BEFORE SHE WAKES 🎬🎬🎬

A father has until 9:30 to reach his captive daughter, and the people helping him cannot trust everything their powers reveal.

Set in Louisville, this rescue thriller follows mechanic Alton Baptiste as he searches for his daughter, Estelle. She signed eighteen false vacancy declarations that allow equipment to be stolen from businesses still in operation. When she tries to withdraw those declarations, Orrin Lusk holds her captive. Now the clearance crews are preparing to move.

Alton turns to his twin tenants, Denise and Dwayne Talbot, and home health aide Petra Vukovic. Each brings an ability that could help them reach Estelle. Each has a limit that could get someone killed.

Denise can enter a sleeping person’s dreams after seeing their face, but she must be asleep herself. Waking breaks the connection, and what she sees can distort the truth. Dwayne can suppress pain, limit bleeding and force his muscles to keep working, but his injuries remain. Alton can use close vocal vibrations to affect small mechanisms, at the cost of damaging his throat. Petra sees a nearby injury roughly five seconds before it happens, but she can misunderstand who will be hurt.

With an unreliable dream guiding the search and seconds to respond to danger, these four must check what they see, confront what they cannot control and decide how much of themselves they can risk.

BANTA: BEFORE SHE WAKES brings family, suspense and grounded supernatural action into a rescue where extraordinary abilities offer no guarantee of survival.

Watch the trailer. Would you trust a dream with someone’s life?

🎬🎬🎬HER, NOT THEM: WHY 215? ❤️‍🔥🎬🎬🎬

215 dates sounds fun until somebody’s feelings get involved. 👀

Darius Coleman is tired of repeating the same mistakes in love, so he sets out on a 215 date experiment in Los Angeles. He meets women from every walk of life, each with her own expectations, responsibilities, desires, and reasons for giving him a chance.

Some dates are hilarious. Others get uncomfortable fast. And some connections become too real to treat like another entry in his experiment.

With his best friends questioning his decisions, cracking jokes, and keeping secrets of their own, Darius discovers that changing who he dates means nothing unless he changes how he listens, communicates, and treats people.

HER, NOT THEM is a funny, sexy, emotionally charged romantic comedy drama about modern dating, complicated friendships, unresolved feelings, and taking responsibility when you hurt someone.

At its heart, it asks one question: Can you appreciate the woman in front of you without judging her by everyone who came before her?
