Synopsis: Paul is a blue-collar demolition worker drowning in debt from a property investment gone wrong. His ex-wife
Kelly has moved on with Kyle, a wealthy social media manager who can give their daughter Athena everything
Paul can’t. Desperate to reconnect with Athena, Paul adopts Bobo, a scruffy shelter dog — a decision he almost
immediately regrets when Bobo tears apart his apartment and refuses to eat, sleep, or behave.

With help from Sarah, a retired behavioral therapist down the hall, and Mr. Green, a gruff but big-hearted senior
neighbor, Paul slowly learns that raising Bobo means confronting the same neglect and isolation in his own life.
As Bobo becomes an unlikely healing presence — visiting hospitalized kids, softening a biker gang’s tough
exterior, even winning over a bureaucratic parking enforcer — the walls Paul built around himself start to come
down.

But on Christmas Eve, with the apartment building set to be sold and Bobo displaced to Kyle’s over-the-top
mansion, disaster strikes: Bobo runs away. As a found family of neighbors, strangers, and former enemies bands
together to search the night for one small dog, Paul and Kelly are forced to confront what they actually lost —
and what Bobo, in his chaotic, heart-stealing way, brought back to life.

Stick around after the screening for a special Q&A with Emerson Alum Maria Menounos and Director Keven Undergaro. Hear behind-the-scenes stories, learn more about the film, and join the conversation!

Synopsis: Best friends Priya and Harlow stream their urban exploration of the abandoned underwater
theme park, Thalassomania, to their nonexistent fanbase. In hopes of finally garnering the
attention of more people, Priya forces Harlow into situations, making her the butt of the jokes.

Priya begins to break the basic rules of urban exploration, touching buttons and switches, and messing with the Park itself. Electricity is returned to the old park, turning on more than just the lights, but an animatronic as well. Harlow expresses her concern and argues to leave as soon as possible. Priya pushes on, and Harlow can only follow to try and plead one last time to Priya.

The two friends have a heart-to-heart, where Priya bares her heart out, and Harlow reminds her that she has her support no matter what. Unfortunately, Priya’s desire is granted as Harlow expresses her own vulnerability, and she is blindsided by the stream’s viewer count. Danger finds the duo, trapping them in a corner.
