'Nyad' is the narrative feature directorial debut from Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi & Jimmy Chin and written by Julia Cox, based on Diana Nyad memoir 'Find a Way'.

'Screwdriver' is the feature directorial debut from Cairo Smith, which she also wrote. Emily (AnnaClare Hicks), a trusting woman who ends up in the potentially nefarious clutches of an old friend (Charlie Farrell) and his gracious and accommodating wife (Milly Sanders).
'Showdown at the Grand' is written & directed by Orson Oblowitz. A proud movie theater owner, George Fuller (Terrence Howard), must defend his family business from corporate developers alongside a legendary action star, Claude Luc Hallyday (Dolph Lundgren) as art imitates life in a showdown for the ages.
'Muzzle' is directed by John Stalberg Jr, who co-wrote with Carlyle Eubank. After his dog is killed in Skid Row, Jake Rosser (Aaron Eckhart) plummets deep into a sinister underworld to uncover the truth about who may be responsible.
'Yuletide the Knot' is directed by Nanea Miyata, which she co-wrote with Daniel Mahler Landman. Wedding planner Rachel (Mary Antonini) faced with planning last minute Christmas wedding for influencer couple (Rachel Leyco & Adam Ambruso), is surprised when the bride’s manager is her first love, Logan (Peter Porte).
