WET - a beautiful dream like monologue that recounts a girl's life through all the different experiences of wetness she encounters from the forgiving wetness of a 'hang-over' shower to the wetness of her first kiss to the wetness of the rain that makes her fathers afro flat.

LEMONADE & TEQUILA - this unique story will be told using stop-motion animation. The narrative will be told through the eyes of a morph like creature who comes to life from a calendar picture in the main characters kitchen. From his 'vantage point' he has been able to monitor her life so far. Leaping from page to page each month. But he will leap off the page managing to morph into everyday household objects in order to avoid detection from roommates and a mischievous cat. Director Shannon Ryun.
