A poignant piece on marriage and how the most important thing in terms of the decisions are that they are about the couple, not anyone else. Can it work when you're unsure your partner is marrying you for you?

The fascinating relationship between Vincent and Rachel we never knew. Imaginative, engaging and beautifully done!

When does planned obsolescence go too far? What if her husband as an immortal goldfish! The horror. Absolutely fantastic and so funny!

You would think technology would bring us closer because everyone is so accessible, or are they? A relatable snapshot of life and the get togethers we miss. Well done.

A powerful piece on grief and the enormous need to absorb any small part of those we lost, but in love we honor their memory. Beautiful work.

A fantastic parent teacher conference that so many will be able to relate to. A very funny piece about expectations and the pride we feel for our children's work even if it didn't make the cut. Well done!

These things are never as simple as we'd wish them to be. A story of a powerful friendship and love with one night that brings them closer, just not in the ways they'd thought. Well done.

A hilarious interrogation of what makes Paolo happy and he must rate it for his prison guards. When he's at his most happy, a ten, will he achieve freedom? Dark and well done.

A hilarious comedy a same sex couple sharing the news with their parents that they'll be having a baby. They're determined to assign gender roles and it's frustrating, but also so funny. The line in response to Kate's career was just fantastic. A story of family bonding and moving forward. Well done!

A fascinating history of the shift to when doctors were allowed in the room changing gender barriers. Well done!
