Beware The Gonzo (Director/writer: Brian Gobuloff; Stars: Zoe Kravitz, Ezra Miller, Jesse McCartney, Amy Sedaris, Campbell Scott, and James Urbaniak) - A teen-angst comedy about an underground newspaper aiming to give voice to high school misfits.

The Bleeding House (Director/writer: Philip Gelatt; Stars: Patrick Breen, Alexandra Chando, Charlie Hewson) Horror thriller about a family with a haunted past, who are visited by a sweet-talking Texan killer who has come for retribution.
