Мир, созданный без изъяна
Mr. Anderson
Семнадцатилетний Трэвис однажды летом забредает в лес, на частную территорию около его дома в Северной Каролине, и обнаруживает целую рощу марихуаны, после чего попадает в медвежий капкан. Проведя в ловушке несколько часов, он, наконец, освобожден местным фермером, хозяином делянки. Однако с этого момента он уже не может спокойно относиться к тем порокам, которыми пропитано это небольшое сельское сообщество в Аппалачах. Вскоре Тревис уезжает из родительского дома и поселяется у учителя Леонарда, который живет в трейлере на окраине города, балуется наркотиками и читает журналы об американской гражданской войне. Судьбы этих людей переплетаются, когда ужасное прошлое и болезненное настоящее городка приводит к ожесточенному сведению счетов, в котором с одной стороны оказывается замешан фермер с марихуаной, а с другой стороны эхом отдается кровавая резня времен гражданской войны, которая продолжает разделять местное сообщество.

When David doesn't appreciate Sam's latest attempt, it opens a fissure in their friendship, one that spreads through the rest of their lives.

The Principal
Логан, тихий, одинокий тринадцатилетний подросток, знакомится с более старшим учеником школы, Родэо, который, в отличие от всех остальных не выказывает враждебности по отношению к нему. Когда между ними завязывается дружба, не вписывающаяся в рамки общепринятых отношений, и единственным проявлением которой являются их уединенные прогулки в лесу, Логан безрассудно создает вымышленный персонаж — девушку Лею, от лица которой начинает звонить Родэо по ночам.

Inside/Out
David Sheppard
Against the barren wintry backdrop of a psychiatric hospital, inpatients and authority figures drift through turgid psychological states. We meet the artist Jean and his lover Monica, patients of the facility, and several characters circling its periphery: a guard, an Episcopalian priest, and a church organist. Minimalizing dialogue and plot intricacy, Tregenza concedes only kernels of information, demanding that the viewer breathe dimensionality into his archetypes. Acting out primal instincts of lust, envy, fear, and love, subjects teeter vulnerably on the brink of sanity and insanity, freedom and repression in their attempts to navigate their existence.

There he meets the seriously intense Henry Carver (Matthew Dixon), who's written a screenplay he wants Callahan to read. Before long, Callahan suspects that Henry might be a serial killer writing about himself and that his screenplay is worth plagiarizing.
