Ren was once a successful screenwriter. But now that she’s become a “woman of a
certain age,” her career has stalled, leaving her at a crossroads of social and
cultural invisibility, parked in a friendly but sexless marriage, and still vigilantly
managing her long-struggling adult daughter. Looking for a change that might
bring her some much needed intimacy without capsizing the rest of her life, Ren
begins a carefully set-up affair that blends sex with storytelling. Fact and fiction
collide. No Such Thing examines the question of what makes a story and the
unpredictable consequences of following one’s bliss.

Ethan has a house, a fiancée, and a steady job driving a forklift. He's also been sober for
six months. But the church choir can't compare with his glory days fronting a band
with his sister Mona. When Mona arrives in their small Michigan hometown to commemorate the
anniversary of their mother's suicide, Ethan's tenuous grasp on stability is shaken by
her promises of a lucrative recording deal and one more magic night in Austin. Six Postcards is an
exploration of familial bonds, the lure of fame, and the haunting power of memory.

When Zell Preston inherits her father's struggling pecan farm and moves back to her childhood home in Fronteras, New Mexico, she finds that the once tight-knit border community has changed radically. The government has cracked down on the undocumented immigrant population, dividing families and pitting neighbor against neighbor. Chuy Gallegos, foreman at the Preston farm for 30 years, wants the piece of land he says Zell's father promised him long ago. Ines Sandoval and her sister Angie Zelaya lobby for the return of their recently deported aunt. Angie's husband Carl Zelaya defends to his community and family his choice to work for the Border Patrol. And Cooper Daniels, industrial pecan grower and head of a civilian border surveillance group, forges ahead with a volunteer-built fence. These forces collide in Ground, which examines the human costs of immigration policies, and the strength of personal beliefs about family, home, and civil rights in the face of a shifting political and social landscape.

The year is 1913. At Rock Shore Sanatorium for the Tubercular, the patients are confined to an isolated treatment facility deep in the Adirondack Mountains.

The four adult Cotter siblings have gathered at the family summer cottage on Lake Michigan two years after their father's death to scatter his ashes from atop his favorite sand dune. Meryl is on the verge of a divorce from Jim. Win is nine months pregnant. Matthew is about to lose custody of his kids. And their 20-year-old half-sister Jade just wants to get married to her boyfriend Devon--and quick. During a wet, mosquito-ridden Fourth of July weekend at a childhood getaway that has very divergent implications for each of them, these estranged siblings, along with their assorted spouses and companions, attempt to cobble together the elusive and contradictory memories of growing up with (and without) their difficult patriarch.
