How to Bruise Gracefully
by Brittany Fisher
PlayLab and Response Session

A young YouTuber, Vi, is hiding something. What begins as a typical workday
at Burger King soon spirals into a deep exploration of fear, trauma, and inner
strength through the eyes of women who have both nothing and everything to
lose. This is a crash course on survival and how to cope with the reality of not
being in control of your own body.

Welcome to the Tree Museum
by Robert Plowman
PlayLab and Response Session

The always exceptional Brash children, Hazy and Queenie and Thunder
and Toot, grew up knowing they would have to save the world one day from
looming ecological disaster. In fact, the first time Hazy saved the world she was
13… and that was the start of all her misfortunes. Years later, when the siblings
are brought together by a wedding and by illness, they’re forced to confront the
impending death of the woodland where they spent their youth — a woodland
still haunted by the mythical mustachioed lumberjack of their childhood
stories, the intrepid Barnabas Reet.
