Synopsis for Santiago:

Eager and naive, film student Billy (Wesam Keesh) trustingly takes on as cameraman for Miguel (Dan Lopecci), who has arranged to follow Santiago (Jesus Guevara), a notorious pimp and drug dealer, as a character study. The adrenaline-rushed adventures captured through the lens obscures the grim reality of the crime world Billy witnesses and celebrates alongside Santiago and his gang, all the while Miguel is not so easily swayed. Is he not charmed by Santiago as we all are, or does he know more than he leads on?

Synopsis for The Terrain:

After returning from war, two soldiers are recruited into a covert mission in Los Angeles and must decide how much of themselves they will leave on this new battlefield.

En Passant:

Written/Directed by Craig Wilson

A once tight knit group of friends, scarred by an accident that ended in death, perform a seance designed for forgiveness. The ritual opens a pathway that crosses over into the supernatural.
