A Midsummer Night's Dream In Prison

"It's almost like for three hours we weren't in prison," says Zeb, one of the prison inmates in rural Eastern Oregon who arrives at the transformative possibility of re-imagining his life story, past and future, while putting on Shakespeare's comedic tale, A Midsummer Night's Dream. As the journey unfolds, themes of gender identity and the challenges faced by BIPOC prisoners are deftly explored, and the power of the arts to challenge and heal, even under the most difficult circumstances, is affirmed and celebrated.

Donuts is a short film set in a coffeeshop in Chicago. Beverly serves up coffee, donuts and empathy to a pair of Chicago police officers who have been thrown together as partners.
Frank is a white male with decades of experience, and biases based on anger, fear and guilt. Frank’s previous partner has just shot and killed a black youth, and the shooting is being investigated.
Jamala, an earnest young African American woman, endures personal insults from Frank as she strives to be a good cop. The tension builds as Frank's prejudices are unleashed and Jamala reveals that her brother, a bright young student, was shot and killed by a police officer two years ago.
