    “Le Bête” is a drama circled around the supernatural. Following two brothers, Bill and Mark, during a night unlike any other they’ve experienced. On a mission to catch whatever beast has been terrorizing their family farm, the brothers catch something more than they expected.

    “Another Day” is a fantasy, drama with a bit of humor added, tells the story of bored John, a young man with a less than interesting life. “Another day” takes us along with John throughout a typical workday.
