When a tragic accident takes Samantha away, Katherine and Michael - her wife and brother, who also happen to be each others' exes - must find a way to pick up the pieces.

A Date to my Sister’s Wedding
Full-Length
Cyndy had a hard enough time telling her family she’s a lesbian, she does not want to try to explain polyamory to them. So, rather than come out once again, her two partners — Maggie and Pen, a wilderness guide and a middle school science teacher — take turns coming home with her for major holidays. But when her sister’s boyfriend gets a job offer in Scotland, Maggie and Pen’s schedules leave Cyndy without a date to an incredibly last-minute wedding. Confronted with a thunderstorm, an off-white wedding dress, a mischievous cousin, and a lingering crush on the Maid of Honor, Cyndy finds the only two people who could complicate matters further are suddenly free — and they’re both on their way.

A vampire trying to con their way into a house. A zombie and his girlfriend covering up a crime scene. A ghost story competition with an eerie twist.
