See the list below to read more about the films. These tickets will be added to your Eventive account after September 7th if you have bought a Standard or a Student Industry pass. Here are the films:
BENJI’S HOUR: A law-breaking teenager befriends an unstable cancer patient who irreversibly alters the course of his life.
ROMI: Forced to hide out at a state-of-the-art smart home, a young woman on the run is terrorized by ROMI, its sinister digital assistant.
ISLE OF HOPE: A university professor with a grudge against her self-absorbed mother tries to figure out where her life went off track.
IN FLAMES: When the family patriarch dies, a mother and daughter’s precarious existence meets a haunting past. They must find shared strength to survive the malevolent forces that threaten to engulf them.
ASOG: Follows Rey, a 40-year-old non-binary teacher and typhoon survivor, on a roadtrip to fame.
RED ROOMS: A woman obsessed with a serial killer on trial goes down a dark path to seek the missing video of a murdered 13-year-old girl.
I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE: Struggling against time and financial constraints, a gay musician races to secure life-saving HIV medication after an assault, finding love and defying stigma in the process.
RILEY: The life of a disciplined high school athlete begins to unravel when his queer identity competes against the idea of who he was supposed to be.
AFTER LAUGHTER, COMES TEARS (Shorts Package): Laughing until you cry or crying until you're laughing? These darkly comedic shorts will keep you on your toes.
CASH RULES EVERYTHING AROUND ME (Shorts Package): Money, Money, Money. The root of all evil but also makes the world go round. Struggling for money seems to be a universal theme these days and it really hits home in these films from around the world.
