Our Past Shows

Five youthful minds struggle to sustain friendships and figure out what life holds for them. What else is new? They face the age-old question – to seize tempting opportunities or settle for what is known and safe. The result? As often is the case for the teens of today: crippling indecision.
Growing Up from Down (2017)
Broken promises, tear-stained cheeks, and other adolescent cliches. Teenagers often make decisions bordering on the irrational. The way they act sometimes makes everyone else question what is going on in their heads. So what if they had a chance to express with their own words their own worlds?
Daily White Toast (2018)
What price would you pay to fit in, especially if what you want most is to belong? In the quest to figure this out, teenagers' lives quickly flicker from the mundane to the insane. Friendships form, then crumble, then reform, and all while the world is watching them on tiny screens.
Code-Switch (2021)
A new door opens for Hemi and Anna as they’re accepted into the prestigious ‘Camp Mana,’ a program designed to prepare promising school leavers to succeed in the ‘real’ world.
