Aiden’s ex Jordan arrives at Aiden’s door to confront her about the allegation that Jordan sexually assaulted her two years ago, forcing them to discuss their conflicting memories of their last night together and whether and how they’re going to move forward. With Jordan meant to be performed by either a cis-male or cis-female actor, Smoke is a nuanced examination of issues and perceptions surrounding sexual assault and consent.

Stylized
Jamie, a male nurse with a Bette Davis fixation, shares a townhouse with Aggie, a film set hairdresser. Into their lives come a teen-aged punk-satanist-skateboarder and a bisexual video performance artist. Will their friendship survive? Murder, Hollywood fantasy, and vampirism interweave in this wonky dark dramatic comedy.
Realistic
Two friends meet for lunch. One of them is a few minutes late, which sets off a series of verbal clashes fueled by a past relationship that they can't bring themselves to discuss explicitly.
