Third Culture Kids

Feature Film

Taipei, Taiwan, 1986. Two best friends — Leia and May — are living out the last weeks of their senior year in the freewheeling expat community, where the local rules don't apply.

When the girls sneak away from their senior trip, chasing curiosity and desire, they are faced with some very adult consequences that threaten their futures. A vivid coming-of-age story where the familiar and foreign collide.

What am I? Who am I? Questions intrinsic to adolescence — made uniquely complicated by growing up as a "foreigner." Culture clashes and cultural connections. Kids being kids but under the most extraordinary of circumstances.

Reaper's Lake

TV Series

The summer after senior year. Best friends Blake and Arden are making the most of their last months together — until a former classmate vanishes. As more outcast teens disappear from Peters Lake, Michigan without a trace, Blake and Arden dig deeper while their small town looks away.

What begins as a missing-persons mystery unravels into something far darker: a cult-like coven promising utopia for society's outcasts, a supernatural plague spreading through the town, and a growing rift between the two friends as Arden is drawn toward the coven's promises.

A supernatural thriller about belonging, belief, and what we'll sacrifice to feel like we matter.
