***This is a Summer Share production. For more info, please go to the website

BAND OF BROODERS

Four Army Rangers, Rick, Ed, Luis and Donna are in a remote area of Afghanistan anxiously awaiting to be evacuated from their recon assignment that will end their tour of duty. The recent loss of one of their soldiers will force them to examine why they are involved in this war in the first place. Based loosely on the Patrick Tillman incident of 2004,Band of Brooders questions the psychological effect of war.

ABSTINENCE ONLY

Set in a New York City studio apartment, two psychology majors, Lori and Jack, find themselves in a tight situation – their one-night tryst has turned into a chaotic struggle after being robbed and bound together in an extremely compromising position. How will the couple free themselves both physically and psychologically? Abstinence Only is a comedy that examines some of our basic rights of privacy under threat in our digital age – including our sexual privacy and freedoms.
