S1.E6 ∙ Call of the Void

Jaisen Ehas captures a highly emotional holiday tryst between two self-destructive Chicagoans in the midst of quarter life crises during a bleak winter. Mutual aimless disillusionment incites a month-long one-night stand between Ryan (KC Haywood), a slovenly sexy, brash drunkard, and Rian (Victoria Floro), an alluring scenestress who knows how to get what she wants, though rarely knows what she's after. Young love, conflicting American values, familial struggles, political correctness, and debauchery are among the fascinations that drive AgAu's button-pushing perspective. Blending the styles of composed narrative and organic documentary filmmaking, AgAu strikes with a visual and structural originality that both captivates and antagonizes.

Two estranged brothers reconnect in New York City after five years without speaking to each other. David, a successful young chef suffers from drug addiction. His older brother, Pauly arrives in New York looking for work. He finds his younger brother desperately in need of help instead.

Ezra Hollins, though a hired man, is ambitious because he loves Ruth Endicott, his employer's daughter. Ruth, not knowing of his love, helps him with his studies, though secretly, because she knows her father would not approve. Ezra passes his entrance examination, but at the last moment gives his tuition money to save the brother of the girl he loves from the results of his speculations from the bank. His failure to go to college is misunderstood, but in the end his name is cleared and Caleb is proud of his chosen son-in-law.

An experimental feature that blends found footage with fiction, tracing a group of friends on a trip to the seaside where their uninhibited antics create a 'social problem' for the distant future.
