Left by his wife and stuck in a dead end job, Seth Kyle’s life defined undesirable, until a mysterious saleswoman shows up at his door offering him “a scent to die for.” Armed with a new air of self-confidence and a never-ending barrage of attention, Seth quickly learns that the smell of success comes with a deadly price.

TOUCH– directed by Emily Hagins

LISTEN – directed by Jesse Holland & Andy Mitton
While researching an urban legend about a song that’s long been thought lost, a group of friends piece together all the existing recordings of it, bringing it back to life for the first time in decades.
