75 Park: e pluribus unum

Director- Everette Hamlette Editor- Thomas Rivera Montes

At its heart, 75 Park: e pluribus unum is the story of miraculous healing.

Our guide throughout is Everette Hamlette, who inwardly transforms from an upbeat and unassuming college kid into a world-beating documentarian with the courage to demand acknowledgment and the audacity to imagine a new Bronx healthy for everyone.

Externally, our structure is driven by the renovation of Everette’s neighborhood park; we see the gradual destruction and reconstruction of this public space throughout. Internally, Everette grapples with the divergent history of the park- one equal parts troubling and magnificent.

#adoption

Director- Rebecca Israel

Everyday babies are being relinquished from one mother to another. There are roughly 20,000 voluntary infant adoptions every year in America, that cost on average from $30,000- $70,000 per baby. It’s a big business with vulnerable people on both sides. And it touches on our most basic desire to parent and have a family.

Who Will Feed Us?

An exploration into the minds and plans of the leading farmers in America. A personal journey of a family who sets out to feed themselves in the midst of a pandemic.
