Special Guest: Written, Directed by Chris Molina
A heartbroken 20-something reluctantly returns to his childhood home in Miami, where he's forced to reevaluate his relationships in the face of a looming hurricane.
Alex (Ramiro Batista), is a 20-something-year-old who begrudgingly moves back to his childhood home in Miami from New York after a breakup. Blinded by his optimism of returning to New York after the Summer, Alex underestimates the inevitable hurricane that is adulthood. As his Miami life takes its turns, Alex documents his version of rock bottom with an old camcorder found in his bedroom-turned-storage closet. Looking for an escape, he soon finds comfort in Chris (Austin Cassel), a random hookup, who shows him what a life in Miami might have to offer. Blinded by optimism and lust, the reality of adulthood comes flooding in, forcing him to begin to grow up.

Prime Minister
To rule is easy. To lead is hard.
A view inside the life of former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, capturing her through five tumultuous years in power and beyond as she redefined leadership on the world stage.
In August 2017, in the lead-up to national elections, Jacinda Ardern unexpectedly became New Zealand's opposition party leader. She had just turned 37. Two frenetic months later, she was Prime Minister. Just before the final vote was in, she discovered she was pregnant. She would become only the second head of state in history to give birth while in office.
Ardern quickly became one of the most recognizable leaders in the world. She drew global attention from people craving a sensitive and compassionate approach to the critical issues of our time. In private, she struggled with being a mother and proving herself to a public skeptical of women's leadership. A series of crises the Christchurch massacre, pandemic lockdowns, and disinformation-fueled protests outside Parliament would test that leadership and the feminine touch she brought to it. She resigned from office in January 2023, shocking her supporters and critics alike.

Rebel wit a Clause
One fall day, Ellen Jovin set up a folding table on a Manhattan sidewalk with a homemade sign that said “Grammar Table.” Right away, passersby began excitedly asking questions, telling stories, and filing complaints. What happened next is the stuff of grammar legend.
What happened next is the stuff of grammar legend.
Ellen and her filmmaker husband, Brandt Johnson, took the table on the road, visiting all 50 states as Brandt
shot the grammar action. But this story transcends grammar. It’s the story of an epic quest in a divided time to
bring us all closer together.
Director’s Statement
When my wife, Ellen Jovin, first started setting up her Grammar Table, I would sit nearby and watch the hilarious
and heartfelt interactions she had with people from every imaginable background. In a time of social and political
division, the Grammar Table was a place of unity and connection. I needed to share with the world what I was
witnessing, so I began filming.
A virtual discussion with Ellen Jovin and Brandt Johnson follows the film.
