THE CURSE OF THE NUGGET

Written and Directed by Leonel Lopez

Two friends head out into town for a celebration when they are visited by a blind dweller who reveals their fortunes to come! Tag along with Lucious Lust and Henry Humble as their journey turns into an outrageous night with hard truths and a misadventure.

JACK OF LEGEND 

Written by Zeke Luckey | Directed by Sebastian Stallone  

The story follows the character of "Jack", from various Olde Irish myths, tales, and rhymes as he reveals through telling his life story on what is implied to be the River Styx. Jack's story begins with him at a young age becoming a self-managed traveling performer (Jack Be Nimble). Having gained slight notoriety for his cunning, Hades, appears to make him a deal. Jack eventually wishes to have talent in every field (Jack of All Trades). It's through this title he meets Jill (Jack and Jill) who he falls in love with and spends the rest of her life with. Once she passes, he turns cold and callous, bringing a chill with him wherever he goes (Jack Frost). When Hades returns to collect his soul, he tricks him into banning Jack from the afterlife (Stingy Jack), leaving him to walk the earth as a vision-impaired wraith (Jack O' Lantern).
