ABOUT PROMITHES, PROMITHES

Promithes, Promithes is a portrait of a friendship in crisis. Ash has always been there for Jeremy but when she finds herself helping him navigate yet another personal crisis she wonders if it is finally time for these two old friends to define their relationship. A comedy about how we treat the people we claim to love.

ABOUT NONNA KILLS THE PRESIDENT

Nonna is in her 90s and spends her days pooping and puzzling and watching the news. Mona is in her 70s and spends her days cleaning up the poop and fantasizing about abandoning Nonna in the woods. Nonna doesn’t know who she is but she knows one thing. She wants to kill the president. Nonna Kills the President is a mother daughter comedy/thriller/daydream about an old woman’s dying wish and the caring daughter she’s leaving behind.
