About the films:
"Love Conquers All" - Janell Grace and Malik Glass
Inspired by real life struggles, Love Conquers All is a film that explores the effects of trauma and turmoil on an individual’s mental state.
The main character, Kennedy, has experienced multiple hardships in his life, the latest being the death of his older sister, Faith. Hesitant and confused as to what he should do, Kennedy attempts to reconcile his chaotic past and present. Those closest to him lend their care, especially his girlfriend, Rose - but ultimately Kennedy has the final say in his progression. Will he be able to pave a new path for himself?
Love Conquers All was created first and foremost to illuminate the topic of mental health. It also emphasizes the importance of being aware of your own mental journey, and being willing to seek help when needed.
"The Glass Door" - T. Ramond
After his brother vanishes while researching ancient portals to other realms, a skeptical man, aided by his girlfriend and a mysterious bookshop owner, uncovers a hidden world of supernatural horrors. Together, they must navigate the perilous threshold of 'The Glass Door' to unravel the truth behind the disappearance, facing their deepest fears and the possibility that some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
"Dare To Dream" - Max Ornstil
Dare To Dream is the story of a young Max Ornstil discovering a letter from a present-day version of himself, describing in detail his future of living out his dreams of becoming a professional soccer player and playing for his hometown club. The film explores how a kid with ambitious dreams would react to hearing how his future will unfold in front of him.
"Play Anywhere" - Max Ornstil
"Play Anywhere poignantly highlights the pressing issue of limited and inaccessible field space for the burgeoning football community in the Oakland and greater Bay Area. The film, written and produced by NSC, aims to draw attention to the challenges faced by local football enthusiasts who often find themselves without proper facilities to play the sport they love...Play Anywhere is a reminder that football is not just a sport; it is a unifying force that can transcend obstacles, bringing people together to play, compete, and forge lasting connections." - Penalty Online
