Mainly what this contest does is give exposure to the writer. They will be able to obtain a solid agent, plus get notice by producers looking for writers like yourself. NOTE: The writer will always own 100% rights to their story. The only thing we do is help the writer. Either with notes on their next draft, or gain exposure by having their story showcased at our festival.
Group centers around a variety of addicts and the moderator as we journey through their individual stories and discover the personal anguish each member has. Struggling with addiction of any kind is always hard, being in therapy is something much more accepted now than it was years ago.
However, this isn’t your typical NA meeting. Written and Directed by William R.A. Rush, this story is a slow burn where our group leader Tommy, portrayed by Tommy Malek, is welcoming everyone to another group session and thanking Dan, portrayed by Don Scribner, for hosting.
You get the feeling all of these people have been in this group together for a while. At one point Joe, played by Joe Montoya, even calls Tommy out about something he said 2 weeks prior. The audience gets the benefit of listening to how each person’s addiction started but it seems like everyone in the room would already know this information. It would explain Joe’s hilarious outbursts as he calls several addicts out with perfect comedic timing. Tommy’s absolute frustration when the session is going off the rails is pure, sensational comedy.
For only using one room to film in, the Cinematographer, Michael Joseph Murray did a wonderful job. The creativity with using a projector to show past images while the actors described what they were going through was brilliant. It helped draw you into their individual stories. I have to commend William R.A. Rush for a twist ending that no one would ever see coming
A young girl enters the painting world of four prominent artists
Review by Andy Karvelis:
“Curiouser and curiouser” cried Alice “Now I’m opening out like the largest telescope that ever was!” Dismissing the Envelope reminds me so much of Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole and ending up in Wonderland where nonsense is the most sense and only sense there is.
Completely A.I. driven, this film takes you on a morphfully, twisting journey into a kaleidoscope world of art. It’s impressive how seamless the computer generated images and motion tracking follow this winding pathway from one painting into another and another and another and..you get the idea. Our Alice, (who I think) is the likeness of Shreyas Iyer, is not only the person we are following through Wonderland, but the only one listed in the credits. Hmmm…curiouser and curiouser.
The music added another layer of trippiness to the film because it had this dissonance that never really resolved. It was unclear if the music was A.I. generated as well but it definitely was a unique choice for a unique film.
Modern day adaptation of Dickens “A Christmas Carol.” Evan Scrooge lives his life as a rich, greedy, bitter, closeted gay man, who despises the holidays. Until one Christmas Eve night, when his dead, ex-lover and business partner, Jake Marley, along with the three spirits of Christmas Present, Past, and Yet to Come, show Scrooge the errors of his ways. Leading Scrooge to open his heart and love for the holidays, as well as his sexuality.
It’s about two men seeking to find love, who spot each other, mutually attracted, but are unable to meet as one is whisked away in his cab.. Both now set on finding the other again, setting into motion a serious of comedic events.

Mystic Sonja Grace looks at the breaking point of two ancient cultures on opposite sides of the world and how their history can help us today. Her ability to Spirit Travel back in time gives a new perspective on the Hopi Indians from Northern Arizona and the Celtic people of England, Ireland, and Scotland. She examines why circular chambers like kivas and stone circles such as Stonehenge were built, the portals that are marked by these sites and the Demi Gods and aliens who influenced them. From the ancient past Sonja brings back hope for the future.
