- After Maury Ornest's death at the age of 58, his sister Laura found more than 1400 paintings and thousands of pages of sketchbooks and journals in every room of his home and storage units. This discovery set her on an unexpected journey. When they were children, their family lived a dream centered around baseball--fueled by Maury's natural talent and progress as he strove to make the major leagues. Yet when he experienced a psychotic break in his early 20s, it dashed any hope for success and left Maury fighting to maintain a semblance of his former existence. OUTSIDER tells two braided stories of a single family: How Laura set out to help Maury, attempting to hold their family together in the face of Maury's self-destructive actions and eventual withdrawal from their world, and Maury's story, discovered in his vibrant, wild art and intimate journal writings, read by author and comedian Gary Gulman. OUTSIDER presents a rarely seen, unvarnished view of a family's painful journey with severe mental illness and captures the unexpected ways they found connection.
- The Way of Glass is about a troubled college kid, Sophie (Frances Pabón), who thinks she has found a new path, a new teacher, an escape. We follow her home on a pilgrimage, first to see her ambitious, academic boyfriend, Keith (Michael Sutherland), and then to the apartment lousy with ghosts where her older brother, Daniel (Kai Issey) is locked in an uneasy truce with their overbearing mother, Marcy (Rachel Marcus). Young Sophie and her brother grew up in a household run by vaudevillian actors who tended to believe that all problems could be remedied by a tangerine or a bowl of consecrated chicken soup. The two siblings could not find a better match than one another to share their woes, their spiritual and social alienation, their cross-bearing egotism and their insufferable superiority complexes. But Daniel, a bit older and wiser, has been in this game a few extra years, while Sophie is still just a grasshopper. The story is narrated and directed by an omniscient older brother, Teddy (Theodore Bouloukos), a charming writer, teacher and sage of sorts who walks through their lives with a survivor's sense of remorse, nostalgia and fortitude. Overshadowing the story and the heart of the family is the wake of its messianic firstborn kin who, though no longer with them, has never been more present. Don't be misled; though rife with harsh words, piercing discord and cynical tirades, the Glass tale is-without question-a "compound, or multiple, love story, plain and complicated." Based on the words of a great American author, and re-imagined by a team of innovative, young filmmakers, The Way of Glass conjures up a stunning visualization of a classic, cherished story.
