- When a shy girl, secretly in love with her rocker-grrl housemate, meets an unbalanced heiress on the run, anything could (and does) happen in BRUSHFIRES, the latest production from Chicago-based film group Split Pillow. As the three women negotiate the dangerous relationships among them, the seven women directors weave a sensual tale of suspense. Drawing inspiration from the poem by Jessica Wilbur and the surrealist parlour game, The Exquisite Corpse, each director selected a word or phrase on which to base her segment, and the seven chapters of the film bear their individual marks. This impressive experiment in filmmaking emerges as a sensitive tale of young desire, loss, and love's confusion.

Now, as Anthony fights to save his brother Darius from a life of indiscretions and a terrified Nellie attempts to exorcise the demons of her past, games are played by a cast of characters so twisted it is impossible to predict who will be left standing at the end of it all, and who among them will ultimately find the redemption that each of them so desperately seek.

- The Great Lakes hold more than 20% of the world's fresh water and support livelihoods and leisure for many of the 37 million people who live in the Great Lakes basin. Poised just miles away, a fish stands ready to challenge this way of life for those living in Chicago and beyond. As Asian carp threaten to enter the Great Lakes via a man-made connection that linked the Great Lakes with the Mississippi River at the turn of the last century, Carp: A Four Letter Word examines the relationship between the water, the fish, the locks, the food, the politics, the economics and a decades-old water rights dispute.
- Two painters compete for the love of a beautiful woman.
