A Lunch Break Romance (2013)\u00a0Directed by Danny Sangra<\/h3>\n

A Lunch Break Romance, (2013) directed by Danny Sangra, is a darling encounter that is almost painfully relatable. These two slightly quirky characters are almost too self conscious, but in the cutest way.<\/p>\n

Seconds (2010) Directed by\u00a0Marko Slavnic<\/h3>\n

Seconds, (2010) directed by Marko Slavnic, deals with a single second and it\u2019s impact on the rest of the life that one moment may lead to. This story is able to say so much in a mere 2 minutes. Watching or not watching this film could potentially rearrange your whole life! I say watch it.<\/p>\n

Signs (2008) Directed by\u00a0Patrick Hughes<\/h3>\n

Do you ever have days where you feel stuck in a monotone life? Well, for Jason, the leading man in Signs, (2008) directed by Patrick Hughes, it's an\u00a0everyday feeling. The lack of courage that keeps him in his little cycle is way too real and might hit close to home. Maybe a sharpie could fix all of our problems?<\/p>\n

Table 7 (2011)\u00a0Written and Directed by\u00a0Marko Slavnic<\/h3>\n

Table 7 (2011) by Marko Slavnic is a must must<\/i> watch. In all of our fragile lives sometimes it\u2019s all about just hearing or saying the right thing and the right time. This film anchors on just that, along with a slightly mysterious vibe and the answer to a question we\u2019ve all wondered…<\/p>\n

Rhinos (2012) Directed by\u00a0Shimmy Marcus<\/h3>\n

Okay prepare yourself for all the feels. This film has a way of communicating through miscommunication and it is silly and sad and beautiful all at the same time.<\/p>\n

The Best Man (2010) Written and Performed by Laura Morgan<\/h3>\n

Laura Morgan gives a stellar performance, filled with honest reactions, in her film The Best Man (2010). This film just flows out the way our minds pour from one thought to the next. This is five minutes well spent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Give Me a Sign (2012) Written and\u00a0Directed by Greg Koorhan<\/h3>\n

Okay, I had to throw one of ours in here. If you've ever been at the end of a date and not been able to find the words\u00a0to say how you feel, this one is for you! Guaranteed smile.<\/p>\n

Los Gritones (The Screamers) (2010) Directed by Roberto\u00a0P\u00e9rez Toledo<\/h3>\n

It's universal, there are places and moments that just invite you to scream.<\/p>\n
