Priest vs Priestess

An Episcopal Priest (Billy Daniel) and a self-appointed Priestess (Monika Miller) invite YOU (brilliantly portrayed by you) to join our community conversation series. Each month, we tackle a new theme and welcome all opinions. This is your chance to witness and participate in a dialogue that bridges beliefs, sparks insights, and celebrates diverse perspectives.

Booger

After her best friend Izzy unexpectedly dies in a bike accident, Anna (Grace Glowicki) struggles to put the pieces back together. Before she even has a chance to process, Izzy’s cat Booger escapes the Brooklyn apartment they used to share. As she turns her already unstable life upside down looking for him, a gnarly cat bite results in terrifying and surprising physical changes. Anna must face her grief head on before it consumes her completely.
