About the event
"A Lot to Unpack" is a one act comedy about Reality Television host Dr. Naomi Macintyre, who is getting married and her television network decides to fully pay for the wedding with one catch: she must plan the whole thing in one week and allow the cameras to follow her every move. Chaos ensues when her family and friends reveal some secrets that have the potential to rip this marriage apart.

"The Encounter"
Three people from very different walks of life all witness the same Supernatural Event. This 10 minute short, told in prose, chronicles this life changing phenomenon through the eyes of each individual, thus exploring how our differences, though vast, connect us at our core as human beings.
