Short Film Reviews: "Wonder Ship"
Winslow Takes the Cake: I certainly picked a bizarre flick to open up this list. It starts innocently enough, with a young girl named Winslow (Taylor Blackwell) visiting her neighbor Abby (Marjorie O'Neill-Butler) to tell her the box she gave her to play with doesn't work. It's during their conversation that things take a weird turn. While identified as a dramedy on IMDb, Winslow Takes the Cake leans a lot more into the drama half of its genre as the encounter between Winslow and Abby gets surprisingly intense. Topics like divorce, religion, and using imagination to get through hard times are mentioned. So don't be fooled by the title and synopsis into thinking you're about to watch a lighthearted kidcom with a fluid narrative.

Short Film Reviews: "Freedom"
Fearless: It's only appropriate to start this list with a film whose title could easily describe those in Ukraine fighting to protect their country. The word is also used by Daniel (Wes McGee) to describe Margret Mason (Fionnula Flanagan), an aging former actress who meets Daniel as he's preparing to end his own life. Margret invites the man to her home for a chat, and an unlikely friendship begins. Fearless gets off to a slow but steady start that segues into a charmingly poignant story. While Margret and Daniel meet by complete chance, they quickly forge a bond as it becomes clear they have quite a bit in common.
