  • MEET THE FAMILY THAT STICKS TOGETHER
    Directed by Taylor Dews ( USA 2025, 34:00)

    As the nine Lane siblings rummage through memories kept in shoeboxes, kitchen drawers, and photobooks, they discover that their fading Sunday dinner tradition is tied to their family’s involvement in the lesser-known history of Black-American social clubs in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Inspiring the next generation to safeguard a nearly century-old legacy, filmmaker Taylor Dews narrates this nostalgic and heartwarming story for her little cousins.

  • A MESS OF MEMORIES
    Directed by Ebony Blanding (USA 2025, 78 min).

    When their childhood home is threatened by their mother Jovita’s hoarding, estranged siblings Deja, Riley, Mylo, and Brooke are forced to reunite. As they sift through years of clutter, buried memories resurface, tensions ignite, and long-held secrets unravel. What begins as a desperate attempt to save their home becomes a journey of reckoning, redemption, and rediscovering the ties that bind — even in the mess.
