3 women married to the same man who drowns each of his wives in the bathtub gather evidences against their murderer. A social critique of women's lack of power in a prescriptive society.
CRASH
The fractured unraveling of memory: an unnamed rape survivor has a flashback during her father's funeral. Details of the horror she endured at the hands of a stranger in a Montreal apartment a decade earlier are slowly revealed, interspersed between scenes showing how the traumatizing crime affected her relationships with her family members afterward, and their relationships with each other and God.

The Mommiad
The Mommiad chronicles the relationship between a mother and her son, the ups and downs they share, and the toll that alcohol and dementia would eventually take on the mother's ife. Intimate and affirming, Sky Gilbert confirms the bond he shared with his mother, both in his own voice and through the voice of his alter ego, Jane. The Mommiad is lyrical and tragic and true, an artist's self-reflection and an endeavour to turn one Womxn's life into an artistic experience.
