Pitch by Darryl Davis
Darryl Davis has been preparing to audition for a locally filmed television series for weeks. After only a few moments in front of producers, however, they quickly discover that Darryl has another role in mind as an unsolicited episode pitch unfurls before them. As this meeting proceeds, and Darryl gets more animated, manic and excited, it starts to become highly questionable if this story pitch is, in fact, the right fit for this show.

Gobstoppers by Jarod Farrell & Noah Sheppard – Produced by Studio Squidcicle
Two best friends accidentally kill an endangered forest goblin. Now if these accidental monster hunters want to avoid jail time, they’ll need help from the scariest monster of all: capitalism!

Follow these Van-Helsings-for-hire on an episodic adventure against gobbos, ghouls, and government!

Boys will be Men by Cassandra Munroe – Winner of the 1st St. John’s Shorts Playwriting Challenge
Three twelve year old boys take post at their self made shelter deep in the woods of a rural Canadian town. The group of boys work together to create their own imaginary society as they cope with living through a Canadian perspective of the Vietnam War in an area still recovering from the devastating generational effects of World War II. Chip, Lucky, and Scoot depend on each other to salvage supplies, hunt, repair, and guard their small part of the world, but you know what they say; boys will be men.
