CODED
Shae Fitzgerald thinks his new teaching job is a perfect chance to change the world. Unfortunately, his class, five students with severe emotional and cognitive problems, doesn’t share his enthusiasm. Shae must also contend with Sarah, the war-hardened principal, Rachel, the back-stabbing VP, and Carly, the mother of a student who has Shae in her sights. Shae crosses the line most teachers don’t cross: the one that leads into his students’ personal lives. This brings him into ethical territory that grows increasingly murky, until he risks sacrificing everything on the altar of his idealism.

Never Broken
When a young mom finds herself broke and alone and raising her 5-year-old daughter, she creates a world of make-believe in order to shield her from the pain of poverty. Well, that and she genuinely believes that how we shape our perspective is ultimately how we shape our lives. As the two navigate a world of lack through the lens of abundance, her tireless heroics are tested time and again, and we're ultimately left to question that most vulgar of terms: the "broken" home.

Sex, drugs, Electronica. Summer Love is a beat-driven journey into the heart of Canada’s west coast rave culture. Four friends. Four cameras. One massive party.
Set in a beautiful valley within the coastal mountains of British Columbia, Summer Love follows four friends – the promoter, the hostess, a partier and a musician on a journey through the rave from each of their points of view. Summer Love exposes the inner workings of BC’s now historic organic contribution to the growing electronic global culture, known as rave and why this movement impacted a generation around the world.
