Retrograde

Retrograde movie 2022

Retrograde

After a jarring encounter with a police officer leaves her with a minor traffic citation, Molly becomes determined to get the ticket dismissed. But when her housemate refuses to testify as a witness, Molly’s pursuit escalates into a self-destructive obsession that threatens her job, her friends, and her morality. Disquieting and intimate, Retrograde explores truth, justice, and accountability through a dryly comic lense.
Director: Adrian Murray
Producers: Adrian Murray, Sennah Yee, Priscilla Galvez

Patric and the Whale

Using stunning underwater footage, Patrick explores the fascinating nature of the sperm whale, attempting to shine a light on its intelligence and complexity, as well as highlighting its current and past relationship with humankind. The film follows his personal journey and explores the psychology of a man who has sacrificed everything in his single-minded quest to connect with and understand one of the the biggest creatures in the ocean.
Director: Mark Fletcher

Free Money

Free Money follows an experiment funded by the charity GiveDirectly in which residents of the Kenyan village of Kogutu over the age of 18 can opt to receive a universal basic income of $22 per month for the test period of 12 years. The documentary tracks the initial enrollment in the program and follows the impact it has on a number of families in the village and the community at large. The film explores perspectives from skeptics and supporters alike, providing a balanced perspective of the experiment, which will conclude in 2031.
Directors: Sam Soko, Lauren DeFilippo
Producers: Amanda Pollak, Jordan Fudge, Jeremy Allen, Sam Soko, Lauren DeFilippo
