Step Mom, Step Mom, Step Mom

Kaila (a Black woman) and Louis (a white man) have a healthy, progressive marriage. At least, until they try to introduce a little kink into their sex life, when race politics prove to be more challenging and complicated than either of them anticipated.

The Last Yiddush Speaker

In the years following a successful January 6th insurrection, a white supremacist regime has come into power. Paul and his teenage daughter, Sarah, live under the radar in a small town upstate as Christian-passing, despite being Jews who fled New York City. When an ancient Yiddish-speaking woman arrives on their doorstep, Paul and Sarah are forced to decide between fleeing again or fighting for their faith, their heritage and their identity.

The Climb

Marge is a celebrated professor of photography whose only subject for the past seven years has been her wife (and former student), Tiffany. When Tiffany embarks on a month-long silent hike without Marge, both artist and muse try to fill the void left by the other, while reckoning with the impact of relentless objectification and the white gaze that have defined their relationship.
