The Thrill of Speed

"After a late warehouse shift, four coworkers go out for a drink. As the night unfolds, the group splinters into parallel journeys through liquor stores, rail yards, and industrial wastelands, each chasing his own vision of freedom."

After a shift at a refinery, four coworkers decide to go out and get drinks. After stopping at a gas station for supplies, they head to the riverfront, where they split into two journeys. Raul and Thom descend deeper into the river's towering industrial wasteland, while Robert and Michael slowly drink themselves stupid. When the two pairs reunite, a final clash of priorities emerges: some want to go home, while others cannot face returning to the routine waiting for them.

Changing Lanes

A rush-hour fender-bender on New York City's crowded FDR Drive, under most circumstances, wouldn't set off a chain reaction that could decimate two people's lives. But on this day, at this time, a minor collision will turn two complete strangers into vicious adversaries. Their means of destroying each other might be different, but their goals, ultimately, will be the same: Each will systematically try to dismantle the other's life in a reckless effort to reclaim something he has lost.
