SUMMARY:My Friend Saabe
DESCRIPTION:My Friend Saabe follows Lindy\, a spirited Anishinaabe girl whose closest companion is Saabe\, the towering being of Anishinaabe teachings. To Lindy\, Saabe is a trusted friend who brings comfort and guidance as she moves through life on the reserve. With her Auntie’s teachings in her heart\, Lindy takes on the challenge of bringing medicines and prayers back to her struggling community.\nBut not everyone sees the world as she does. Kobe\, a troubled teen\, mocks her efforts\, and Stan\, weighed down by addiction\, resists the healing she offers. Still\, Lindy persists\, guided by Saabe’s presence and the belief that even small acts of kindness can spark change. \nThrough quiet moments of prayer\, laughter in the forest\, and the courage to stand tall in the face of doubt\, Lindy becomes a bridge between land\, spirit\, and people. By the film’s end\, healing begins to ripple through the community — elders reconnect to prayer\, Stan finds strength in ceremony\, and even Kobe begins to soften\, joining Lindy in her journey. \nCinematic and deeply rooted in Anishinaabe storytelling\, My Friend Saabe is a love letter to friendship\, land\, and the living presence of Indigenous teachings.

SUMMARY:Crystal Cross
DESCRIPTION:Crystal Cross is the story of two unlikely companions on a doomed but beautiful road trip across America. Dotty\, a Christian singer in trouble\, believes she’s received a sign from God when she meets James\, a man who looks strikingly like Jesus. For Dotty\, James is her ride out of town and a chance to reverse her fate. For James\, however\, the journey has a darker purpose. Broken by the loss of his daughter and after several failed suicide attempts\, he is driving cross-country to California to finally end his life.\nWhat follows is an odd-couple love story — not quite a romance\, but a connection that grows out of desperation\, humor\, music\, and the long miles between them. Dotty clings to her dreams of stardom while hiding a secret that could destroy them both. James\, a father without a child and a musician who no longer plays\, resists every effort to be saved. As they travel\, their bond deepens in strange\, contradictory ways: moments of beauty at roadside attractions\, recording booths\, desert blooms\, and drunken spirals reveal both their flaws and their fragile hope.\nCrystal Cross explores the absurdity and tenderness of survival\, faith\, and failure in modern America. It is both a darkly comic odyssey and a meditation on love in its rawest form — love that doesn’t fix or promise\, but simply keeps you alive for one more mile. \nThe film features an original 15-song soundtrack written by Richie Follin\, blending story and music into a singular cinematic journey. \nIt stars Rubyrose Hill (Girls tv series)\, Richie Follin\, Lukas Haas (Inception\, Witness)\, Missi Pyle (Gone Girl\, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)\, Samantha Robinson (The Love Witch\, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)\, Luke Baines (The Girl in the Photographs\, A24’s Under the Silverlake)\, Kayla Anjali (The Pitt)\, Eric Kelly (The Daily Show\, The Eric Andre show)\, David Lowe (Midnight in Paris) and Barbara Willams (CSI\, Mayans M.C.).
