Angelfish directed by Michael Tyburski

Born and Raised directed by Joshua Dragge
In a small, seaside town, a young man learns a thing or two about love, luck and life from his well-traveled, outlaw grandfather. Born & Raised is a rough, tough, coming-of-age drama, with a lot of heart and a ton of laughs. It deals with family, friends, love, forgiveness, small towns and the want for something more.
