THE MIRACLE. A FilmStreet / Bastille Release. Coming SOON. Starring Alexis Taylor & Kevin Bacewich Both single and wandering, Elaine and David meet each other at a cafe and fall instantly in love. One evening on a date, a series of personality clashes emerge, pulling the two down a perverse spiral of masked feelings, violent emotions and repressed sexual urges. Unbeknownst to them, their chance encounter will prove to be the meeting of a lifetime.

In sound, a man recounts his on-foot migration across the United States of America. On screen, candid photographs & findings of terrains, settlements, and conditions from the present moment. Together, testimony and documentation construct a damning series of events from within domestic borders, but is it all to be believed? Starring Adam SCHMERSAL and Caroline LUFT. A film by Dannzel ESCOBAR, Adam SCHMERSAL, Cole GREENBERG & Lauren STEWART.

Over the course of one fateful Christmas night, a woman named Helena is virtually revisited by an important figure from her past, as old memories are provoked through an archive of elusive and cryptic video logs. In the process, emotions that have long been bottled-in rise to the surface. Written, Directed, & Edited by Dannzel ESCOBAR Featuring Jen FUNDERBURK, Alyssa LEONESIO, & Alexis TAYLOR Music: Hiroshi YOSHIMURA - Ogawa Ni Sotte
