Twelve-year-old Rose has always found comfort in rules. The same route to school, the same seat at the table, her beloved dog Rain sleeping at the foot of her bed every night. But when a storm tears through her town and Rain disappears, Rose realizes there is no rule for this moment. Escaping the shadow of her volatile father, she ventures into an unfamiliar world with her uncle by her side to bring Rain home, discovering along the way that what she's always known about her life may not be the whole story. A quiet journey about love, loss, and learning to trust yourself when the world feels uncertain.
After fleeing her abusive partner in the middle of the night, a young mother hides out with her two children in a remote trailer in the Vermont woods. In the cold and the quiet, she must find the will to start over and the strength to never go back.
Taipei, Taiwan, 1985. Before cell phones. Before the internet. A misfit crew of expat teens come of age in the freewheeling bubble of Taipei International School, where the local rules don't apply. Through family crisis, underage drinking, late-night lip-sync battles, and the wild freedoms of a city operating between East and West, they find that "home" is the deep and unlikely connections they forge with each other.
Until one of their classmates is murdered, and those connections begin to unravel, forcing them to see their world and each other through a very different lens.
The summer after senior year. Best friends Blake and Arden are making the most of their last months together. When a kid from school disappears without a trace and more outcast teens begin to vanish from Peters Lake, Illinois, they start asking questions their small town would rather leave unanswered.
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.
Erika Burke Rossa is a writer, director, producer, and actor. Born to a Moroccan Jewish mother and Irish Catholic American father, and raised in Hong Kong and Taiwan, her multicultural and multi-faith upbringing shaped her commitment to stories that reflect the world in all its complexity. A Juilliard-trained dancer with a BFA in Drama from NYU Tisch and a Masters in Social Work from NYU Silver School of Social Work, she has worked across stage and screen for over two decades, driven by a belief in the power of stories to build empathy and bridge divides.
Her feature film directorial debut, Rain Reign, is adapted from Newbery Honor-winning author Ann M. Martin's novel, for which Erika also wrote the screenplay. Produced by Rainbow Goat, With a Twist, and Long Odds, in association with City Hill Arts and Ley Line Entertainment, the film stars Paul Rudd, Jeremy Sisto, and Felice Kakaletris.
