(with Support of MacDowell and Djerassi Colonies) StoneHeart a deconstructed western Beatriz "Birdie" Zermani has a beautiful Northern Mexican family proudly belonging to the top echelons of society in Ciudad Juarez, 1987. When her house begins to literally fall into itself, her persecution dementia, belief of a curse, and the joining of a new member of the household are enough to throw Birdie off the precipice of early on-set Alzheimer's and memory affectations. As the city around them begins to crumble like the very foundation of their stone home, the Zermani's cope with death, a crumbling legacy, and the uprise of a new generation of 'society's finest,' the drug lords of today. 4our Dollars A Day inspired by a true story Cordelia is a student programmer at the Office of Special Events at the University of Texas at El Paso. When two journalism majors join her to co-produce the largest VDAY campaign shedding light on the Women of Juarez in 2004, Cordelia and her team set forth a series of events that become the burst of the media bubble that put the women of Juarez on the international spotlight. After a threat to her family cripples her ability to further involve herself with the campaign, Cordelia must deal with appropriation, media fanaticism, and the outpour of emotions that promise to end the northern desert's twenty-year drought. |
