- Three independent filmmakers volunteer to document the non-profit organization HEART (Health Education Africa Resource Team) throughout AIDS-torn Kenya, chronicling efforts to teach Kenyans how to curtail the spread of AIDS. Instead of the overwhelming despair associated with the impossible task of teaching millions even as they're dying, the filmmakers choose to reveal the people for their inherent character: joyful, intelligent and hopeful, willing to learn and incorporate the information the volunteers of HEART present to understand and ultimately overcome the deadly disease. Interviews with HEART Team members, Kenyan officials and residents reveal the impact this small, California-based organization has had in just four years, and testimonials inspire the spirit to understand the difference even one person can have in changing lives forever.
- In the fourth century AD, a monk named John Cassian wrote in detail of the eight deadly sins. In the 20th century, deacon Simon Corbett will be questioned as to the discrepancy by a creature who is old enough to know better. '"Acedia, the eighth and most insidious of sins, that the church has stolen--for if it were made available, every knowledgeable finger would rise to point in accusation of the truth: that this exalted, miraculous vessel, charged with the inspiration of life, has become so enamored with the riches of heaven and the hatred of earth that it is now truly indifferent, cold and resigned that life here is nothing even in the living of it, and all will go on with or without it so long as there is time that creeps..."' Taking an unlikely approach to addressing spiritual apathy within the church, Acedia is simultaneously an indictment and directive--a message that life, no matter how long lived, is nothing if merely endured.
- Hearkening back to the Hitchkcockian episodic, 40 Year Scotch weaves a fantastical route through the inner mind and perceived realities of a contract killer whose preoccupation with Scotch and 'psychotic women' have run up a tab far greater than he'd expected...
- The brief, allegorical journey of a man drowning in circumstances who wrings his own soul of the questions weighing him down.
- In the spirit of The Twilight Zone, this award-winning short casts a supernatural reflection of the tenacity of love despite desperate, possibly lethal circumstances. The theme is not unique; the presentation, however, provides an intricate and surprisingly evocative slant upon the demonstration of 'sacrificial love.'
