When an anxious, perfectionist PhD student discovers an AI app that predicts the outcome of her decisions before she makes them, her life unravels as she becomes obsessed with the app. This is a sci-fi drama about anxiety, decision-making, and what happens when you put your fate in AI's hands.
THIS WILL NEVER WORK is about a Black family coming together to have an intervention for Amanda's drinking problem. They've hired a therapist named Trevor (a white man, not that it matters), written emotional letters, and now they sit and wait for Amanda to arrive. But when she does, Trevor realizes that the family hasn't exactly been honest with him. "I think I should leave," he says. But listening isn't this family's strong suit, and they've already prepared for battle. The intervention turns into a whodunnit of all the family's drama and trauma. As we flash back and forth from contested family memories to the claustrophobic intervention room, we'll piece together the mysteries that haunt this family.

Khris, a shy young lesbian working at an art gallery, is desperate to get closer to an attractive co-worker. But every time she almost shares a kiss, a Greek chorus of judgmental church ladies in her mind erupts, mocking and shaming her.
As the gallery prepares for a major artist showcase, complications intensify when the featured artist shows interest in her love interest, Evangelina. Caught between desire, rivalry, and the relentless voices of religious shame in her head, Khris must confront both her internal critics and the people standing in her way if she hopes to embrace her sexuality and find love.
This documentary is a raw, behind the scenes portrait of stand up comedian and Saturday Night Live star Punkie Johnson, as she battles the chaos of life on the road and fights to protect her authentic artistic voice while confronting a spiraling personal crisis.
Set in a lively Brooklyn barbershop, Zeke follows Vic, a loyal customer whose routine visit takes a sinister turn.

When Zeke, the shop’s charismatic owner, announces plans to expand his business into a school for boys, Vic decides he can no longer stay quiet. His public confrontation triggers a wave of revelations, exposing years of abuse masked as routine barbershop mishaps.
With sharp humor and social critique, Zeke examines power, trust, and the silence that enables abuse.
