• Regeneration - Chelsea Thaler - An experimental tribute to Ingmar Bergman.
• Sea Sick - Brandon Danganan - Each summer, I spent my days working in Ocean City helping the community thrive for the tourist season. While Ocean City is a great place to bring the family and have some fun, unfortunately, people come down to the beach and leave more than just their footprint in the sand. And sometimes, it’s not just the visitors but also the people that call Ocean City home that flurry it with trash. Seeing the beauty of Ocean City covered with bits of trash is part of what inspired me to create this short film to raise environmental awareness around trash pollution.
• They Breed Us to Feed - B.L. Strang-Moya - At the drive-in, a young man ponders his existential fears surrounding life in a resort town.
