89 year-old Phyllis Sabatini is 4-foot 7-inches but stands tall as the feisty matriarch of a tight-knit family that she loves - and on whom she is determined not to be a burden. While her husband of 62 years, Joe, seems to have given up, Phyllis watches her daughter struggle to care for everyone from nine to ninety, and makes a radical decision to lighten her load. Leaving home is difficult at any age, but Phyllis takes a chance that sometimes, the best way to say 'I love you' is to say 'goodbye.'

A documentary comedy about serious issues we have with our stuff, Xmas Without China follows Chinese immigrant Tom Xia as he challenges his American neighbors to survive the Christmas season without any Chinese products.
Herself
In the fall of 2009, Lindsay Ellis, a 26-year old graduate student, went through the painful process of having an abortion. “The A-Word” follows Ellis as she opens up to her family and organizations from both sides of the debate, in search of healing. This is not a film about the protests and debates wrapped up in religious views and political agenda, but rather a personal journey about one woman’s struggle to shed the stigma attached to the A-word in hopes of starting a dialogue.
