Jef Taylor COVERAGE
David and Lynn are in the midst of a relationship crisis-he's lost his job, and his self-esteem and libido are at a nadir-on the morning of September 11, 2001. 'COVERAGE' shines a critical light on the media's exploitation of the events of 9/11, while also exploring the blurry boundaries of human sexuality and powerlessness in the technological age.

Amelia Bryne & Phoebe Sullivan WEALTH
After 9/11 President Bush told us to shop. WEALTH is a feature-length film about the relationship between Americans and the objects they own. Working out from the living rooms and stores of a former factory town fallen on hard times, WEALTH looks at objects, and at small town America. With this backdrop of apparent economic decline, the film sets the stage for a revelatory portrait exploring American material abundance; the things that fill our store shelves and closets, backyards and dumpsters. WEALTH features music by The Frequency.
