Her Kiss

On the night of Princess Diana’s death, a recent high school graduate works the graveyard shift at a mini-mart and gas station in his hometown. Over the course of a long night, the teen encounters patrons who challenge his sense of self while he waits for a special someone who may or may not arrive.

Do You See What I See

On the way back from catching a showing of a movie they’re forbidden to see, two familiar young women, along with their chaperone, discuss desire, punishment and acting out—all while prying eyes descend from the sky.
