King Ed
Ed didn’t just get dumped, per se—but he did encounter a “relationship upheaval.” And that break-up didn’t leave him with crippling depression, necessarily—he’s just not “emotionally thriving.” His hunt for a cure leads him to the office of The Ketamine Oracle: an alternative therapist-slash-modern-day-myth who just might be addicted to some substances herself.
By Nick Fascitelli (USA)

Once More, Like Rain Man
We follow Zoe (Martinez) and her dad, Gerry (Jones) in a ‘day in the life’ of an autistic actress running the gambit of stereotypes she has to deal with – and her dad’s battle in supporting her forging that path for herself – in a funny, frustrating, painful and sometimes triumphantly sarcastic kind of way.
