Stargazer – Alan McIntyre (New York, New York)

Whose stories get told? Who gets to tell them? How? Stargazer tells the story of one night in the life of Grace Campbell, a grad student burning with fury about the fate of a forgotten astronomer. Cecilia Payne discovered the nature of the universe -- and saw her genius stolen by men. For Grace, history threatens to repeat itself when she's forced to partner with a male journalist. Spike Randall promises Grace an appearance on a TV show, hosted by historian Annette Gordon Reed, but at what cost? A dancer called Diana intervenes with a parable of her own about sex and power in ancient Greece, and Grace must decide where to turn and whom to trust -- all in a frantic 86 minutes. Stargazer was shot at Rider University in New Jersey. 2022; 86 min.

Meet Cute – Shon Tilling (Vancouver, Canada)

Inspired by the silent films of the 1920s, Meet Cute tells the story of a fateful day between two people waiting for the bus. 2022; 3 min.
