Director Ashlei Hardenburg-Cartagena

End of Summer Love

Ashley and Bill are very in love. However, Ashley is about to leave and Bill isn't saying anything to stop her. He begins to reminisce about their relationship.

Mary Jane's Tribulations

Mary Jane's (Fiorella Mallea) life is evolving into one dramatic day. She has always had a turbulent life, and everything she does is lost in translation with her adoptive mother Amy (Linda Collins). Amy has been trying to raise Mary Jane by herself for the last year in the absence of her beloved husband (Michael Grazioli), who recently passed away. Without the husband/father, as the healing bridge between Mary and her mother, the relationship between Mary, who is dealing with deep depression, and her chronically negative and overwhelmed Mother, deteriorates to an unthinkable ending.

Director Arsen Bortnik
