Meet Me at the Club: The Castro Country Club Story

On April 1, 1983 at the frightening start of the AIDS epidemic, gay businessman and restaurateur Steve Harris opened the doors to the Castro Country Club as a refuge where folks could gather and find community outside of the bars and clubs in the Castro. For 40 years, the CCC has saved thousands of lives from the grips of addiction and alcoholism from its humble perch on 18th Street, one block from Castro Street. Meet Me at the Club captures the history of early trans experiences, the role that the AIDS epidemic played in addiction and alcoholism, and the miraculous recoveries from hopeless states of mind and body in San Francisco. When 295 people die every day from overdoses, the story of how this beautiful community came together to survive and thrive, there's no more important time than now to tell this story.

Raanan Hershberg: Morbidly Jewish

Morbidly Jewish is a fearless stand-up comedy special from Raanan Hershberg that takes on antisemitism, conspiracy theories, modern dogma, and the strange comfort people find in absolute certainty. With razor-sharp jokes and unapologetic honesty, Raanan skewers Joe Rogan culture, Trump-era politics, horoscopes, internet conspiracies, and the bizarre ways people talk about Israel—especially the loudest and most extreme voices on all sides. This special isn’t about telling you what to think — it’s about making fun of people who are way too sure they already know. From mocking spiritual pseudoscience to exposing the absurdity of tribal thinking, Morbidly Jewish balances dark humor with smart, fearless comedy that punches up and questions everything.

The Letter

The Letter follows a recently arrived immigrant and his family as they face an impossible deadline to leave the United States or risk deportation. Told through the lens of the filmmaker’s close friendship with the subject, the film centers on the slow dismantling of the family’s home—an act that becomes both practical and symbolic—capturing fear, love, and resilience as neighbors, church members, and community activists rally together, leaving a visible absence where a family once belonged.

Where the Waters Meet on the Breathing Shore

"Where the Waters Meet on the Breathing Shore" is a 25 minute science documentary exploring the Mullica River-Great Bay Estuary in Tuckerton, NJ, where freshwater rivers meet the saltwater sea. Graduate student and science storyteller Shaniya Utamidata joins marine scientists at Rutgers University Marine Field Station, Dr. Thomas Grothues, Dr. Ken Able, Dr. Oscar Schofield, and Lisa Auermuller to reveal how these “breathing shores” sustain biodiversity, filter water, and buffer communities against climate change. Blending scientific insight with reflection, the film transforms field research into a personal journey of discovery. Using a Science-in-Action Storytelling Model, we invite young audiences, especially students from underrepresented backgrounds, to see themselves in the story of science. In connecting the marshes of New Jersey to the coasts of Indonesia, "Where the Waters Meet on the Breathing Shore" shows how one estuary’s story belongs to the entire planet.

Ramona and the Ballad of Juan Diego

About two hours east of Los Angeles, thousands gather each spring in Hemet for The Ramona Pageant, the oldest continuously staged outdoor play in the United States. The production draws from Helen Hunt Jackson’s Ramona, a cultural force that helped shape California’s identity and spotlighted injustices against Native Americans. Following the pageant’s centennial, the film tracks Eli Santana, who plays Alessandro, as he investigates the real history behind the fiction, including the 1880s killing of Juan Diego. In museum archives, the team discovers a rare wax cylinder that preserves the killer’s testimony. They seek out descendants of Juan Diego and his wife, Ramona Lubo, and record a new wax-cylinder statement to restore her missing voice. The journey culminates at the pageant, where descendants and Bird Singers gather, and Eli debuts The Ballad of Juan Diego, reframing a California myth for the next hundred years.
