Five university friends gather at a house party to ring in the New Year. Unbeknownst to them, an epidemic has erupted outside, causing outbreaks around the world. With nowhere else to turn, they barricade themselves indoors with only their phones, laptops, and other tech devices. They use their devices to research the possible cause of this outbreak.
Information and video footage over flow their computers as they descend further into the cause and the ensuing chaos. As the virus spreads, the mood in the house changes from fear to paranoia. Who is safe? Who can they trust? Reality becomes blurred as they slowly discover the source of the virus causing the sickness...and there is no going back.
Hailed by Slant Magazine as a "biting commentary on the often addictive nature of online interaction," Antisocial is also available now on Amazon Instant Video, iTunes and all major broadcast platforms. The DVD release (SRP $24.99) will include a feature length commentary and behind the scenes footage.

Harris Glenn Milstead, aka DIVINE (1945-1988) was the ultimate outsider turned underground hero. Spitting in the face of the status quos of body image, gender identity, sexuality, and preconceived notions of beauty, Divine succeeded in becoming an internationally recognized icon, recording artist, and character actor of stage and screen. Glenn went from the often-mocked, schoolyard fat kid to underdog royalty, standing up for millions of gay men and women, drag queens and punk rockers, and countless other socially ostracized misfits and freaks. With a completely committed in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture.

One day, the siblings desperately snap, turn their father in to the law and flee for their lives deep into the mountains. How will they survive on their own in a world they’ve barely experienced or understand? That’s the least of their problems. Unfortunately for them, their dad was holding a considerable amount of drugs. Drugs that have now gone missing. This is of no small concern to Uncle Costello, the area’s resident homicidal pusher kingpin. Costello believes the girls would know where his dope is, and he and his militia of killers will tear through as many bodies as it takes to track them down. The girls know nothing, nor do they have the slightest interest in anything related to their father’s business. No matter. All they can do is continue to run, while an ever-broadening river of blood forms in their tracks behind them.

Impossibly, each person hears these orders in their own voice and language. The gist of it is horribly straightforward: “If you are lapped, you die. If you step off the path, you die.

Plot Synopsis:
It’s not always easy coming home. Sisters Nicole and Annie learn just that as they reluctantly return to their childhood house in the wake of their mother’s death. Their memories there were not entirely pleasant ones, and neither is keen to revisit any semblance of them. Instead, they get something much worse, and infinitely more terrifying. Before Annie has even gotten back to town, Nicole vanishes under highly mysterious circumstances, leaving her sister to do some serious digging. Digging that will unearth terrible, repressed truths about exactly who their mother was and what she and those around her may have done to their community. The bad vibe that her home has always had stems from a rot so deep it decays through to the other sides of graves, and at least one supernatural presence will not rest. The unexplainable is about to explode into the unforgettable.
