Comedy (90 min / 2F, 4M, 1TM)
“You never give up hope, not even when your mom sold you to Harry Styles to pay off the Russian mob.”
A college freshman has an atypical side hustle: secretly writing commissioned fanfics on tumblr about the world-famous YA fantasy series, THE COURT OF COPPERFIELD. She pens magical adventures and pulse-quickening romances with the series’ dreamy male leads, who also operate as her personal Greek chorus on her transition into adulthood. But no amount of writing can prepare her for when she starts to fall for a real 18-year-old guy… one who just, like, doesn’t know his lines? Meanwhile, her roommate explores his gender identity through reading fics, and finds a writer who just seems to get him - no, seriously, why does tumblr user “HolyHoudiniBatman” seem so familiar? A Gen-Z comedy about fandom life, first times, and the gender of it all.

LOVE INTEREST
Dark Comedy (120 min / 3F, 5M)
“Myself and everyone on the TCEU Team stand with women. And girls. And the uh…what is the term? The they-them individuals? We stand with those individuals as well.”
Dawn is the leather-clad, femme fatale star of the Twister Comics Cinematic Universe (TCEU)’s latest franchise of superhero films, and just wants one gig where she doesn’t have to kiss a coworker. Nadia is an up-and-coming pop-star who wants to make the leap into acting, and will do whatever it takes to get there – even if she has to do it the old-fashioned way. Annie is an aspiring entertainment reporter with a lot of dumb luck, who definitely should’ve paid more attention in her Ethics of Journalism class. All three are learning what kind of power actually exists for them in a post-#MeToo entertainment industry as they navigate male “allies,” notes app apologies, and, worst of all: thirst tweets.

THE BROKEN BRAIN BREAKUP GAME
Dramedy (90 min / 2F, 4M, 1NB)
“This is my life. Not a TV special. I’m not a sitcom character – I don’t go back to the status quo at the end of each episode.”
Jane, a 25-year-old copy editor from Atlanta, suffers from a laundry list of mental disorders. In a questionable move to aid her recovery, Jane’s boyfriend volunteers her to appear on The Broken Brain Breakup Game – the only game show where contestants confront and "break up" with the devastating mental disorders holding them down. Join Jane and our beloved host, the Doctor (medical license-pending), as we learn whether Jane'll ditch her mental baggage for good, or if this is the end of the line for her relationship with her beau.
