The Soul Searchers: Three Stories comprises three short films that explore the mystery, the unexpected, the joy and the pain of the human soul.
Get Thee Behind Me is a humorous period piece set in the 1970s. A preteen boy, Jeremiah, contemplates the mysteries of spirituality and a budding attraction to the opposite sex.
Two Pink Dots? You Positive? is inspired by the hip-hop poetry of Paul Beatty. This surreal story follows the emotional journey of teenage mother, Sarah, through her unexpected pregnancy.
Middle Skin (joy and pain) plunges into the depths of the enduring, but unhappy, union of long married Hezekiah and Cat Jones, as Hezekiah is jolted into confronting the pain and hurt that has become the substance of their relationship.
