This is Our Youth: Set in New York in 1982, This Is Our Youth follows forty-eight hours in the lives of three lost young souls: Warren, a dejected nineteen year old who has just stolen $15,000 from his abusive, tycoon father; Dennis, his charismatic drug-dealing friend who helps Warren put the stolen money to good use; and Jessica, the anxiously insightful young woman who Warren yearns for. Warren, Dennis, and Jessica must reconcile who they are with who they want to be in the chaos of Reagan-era New York.

Set in rural Ontario, Perfect Pie revisits the childhood friendship between two women; one who chose to stay in her hometown and the other who chose to escape. As they recollect their past, the story of the girls at both ten and fifteen drives inexorably forward to the same event which scarred and shaped the lives of the adult women. When the past meets the present, a catharsis is achieved forcing the women to re-examine their life’s decisions.
