"The Fairest"
The women of Disney’s ink & paint department start to lose their minds as they rush to finish Snow White with little pay and no air conditioning. One young painter has trouble making friends at work, and develops a very fraught imaginary relationship with the character she’s painting: the original Disney Princess. After months of inhaling fumes and arguing with the unkind Snow White, she seeks revenge on the men upstairs who animate and claim credit on the film.
THE FAIREST tells a story of making art without ownership, and building a legacy without recognition.
Starring Winnifred Bonjean-Alpart, Taylor Cozort, Emma DeCorsey, Sivan Gordon-Buxbaum, Meghan E. Jones, and Kelley Lord.

"The Animals Speak"
A depressed Walt Disney travels in 1941 with his wife and a small crew of artists on a goodwill tour funded by the U.S. Government to sway South America from the influence of Nazis. Walt is trying to forget everything: the near bankruptcy of the company, the ongoing animator's strike, and the recent death of his mother, for which he blames himself.
Mary Blair, a young artist with the company, has tagged along and struggles to find a true artistic voice separate from her husband's. But with a bit of encouragement and late-night gins with Walt's wife Lillian, her work blossoms and might end up being the inspiration everyone needs to keep going.
Starring Ginger Kearns (Sleep No More, The Death of Rasputin), Cian Genaro (Netflix's Zero Day, Thirdwing's Televison), Krysten Wagner (The Female Genius), Felipe Arellano (La Leva, La Mala Clase), Adam Griffith (Sleep No More, The Death of Rasputin), and Cameron Darwin Bossert (The Disciple, Burbank). Costumes designed by Yolanda Balaña. Music composed by Deeba Montazeri.
