37 West
A weary drifter passes through a desolate ghost town late one evening and starts spinning stories of nearby buried treasure over several shots of whisky at a local bar. After hearing of a bank heist a few towns over on the radio, the bartender and his cohort make a plot to find the stolen loot. The next day, three friends on a cross country adventure pass through town when their car breaks down, forcing them to stay at the local Inn, run by a hometown girl with dreams of moving on to a better place. Subsequently, a ruthless gangster shows up looking for the drifter. Unbeknownst to him, he’s being tailed by a rookie cop. Word travels fast, and all these characters find themselves caught in a frenetic, violent race to find the cash. As the body count rises, greed consumes them, and each and every one is left stilted from their former self. The movie exists as a sort of morality tale, where the characters lose themselves and are reduced to a primal, selfish state. There is a prevalent theme of small-town mentality, and a general dissatisfaction with one’s environment or walk in life. It’s not how far you’ll go for money, but how far you’ll go for the idea of greed.

Concentric
A what-if piece about a guy who has to decide who to trust and who to kill – his best friend, or a girl. Brent is an average guy – easygoing and stoic, but he secretly has a fervent lust for Lana, who happens to be the not so significant other of Zeke, a paranoid drug dealer/addict, not to mention Brent’s best friend. Lana turns up at Brent’s doorstep with a busted forehead spouting a story of how Zeke flipped out over a large sum of missing cash which he owes to his dealer. Zeke’s stance is that Lana took the money and is hiding it from him, hoping to screw him over. Stuck in the middle, Brent tries to choose – does he believe his best friend, or a girl? And which one does he kill? The movie is presented in a non-linear fashion, starting at the end of the movie, and recapping throughout. Visually it serves as a sort of memory highlight reel, where Brent remembers the chain of events that led him to his current unpleasant situation. The thing is all scenes are slanted or hypothetical, deriving from Brent’s perspective or interpretation. His existence as an unreliable narrator fuels confusion, as he is not sure who to trust. The movie can be viewed as the story of one guy forced to make a life or death decision, considering his options and the events that back them up in a brief moment that is stretched out across time for narrative purposes.

Runtime 56 minutes. MiniDV. Color. Aspect ratio: 1.78:1 (16:9 Widescreen). Thriller. (contains strong, pervasive language, sexuality, violence and drug use)
