Unknown Stars
"Like a sculptor who, when looking at a stone, already sees the art within, there are people who can turn ideas into reality. The documentary is an intimate fresco of hidden talents. A leaf moves, a curtain vibrates, the lights of a workplace turn on. A woman's voice guides us through a personal story that becomes a collective narrative about savoir-faire. Eyes, hands, the most skilled artisans in fashion reveal themselves. An immersive journey into the richness of humanity that surprises and inspires. An ode to beauty. "
Beyond Belief
A young woman from Cleveland, Ohio earns a scholarship to attend a 4-day river trip through the wild Green River's Gates of Lodore Canyon. The only catch ... she doesn't know how to swim and is terrified of water. Join Danielle and her peers on this wonderful journey, and bear witness to her inspiring first-hand account of what it took to go beyond her beliefs about water, and how that expanded the vision for her future.
Shoreline
