Writer/director Brett Wagner turns Big Bend National Park into a living, breathing character in the compelling drama, The Big Bend. The sense of disconnect from the world the landscape offers is the perfect backdrop for the story of two couples forced to confront issues within their marriages.
New Jerseyans Cory and Melanie Price, along with their two young daughters, head to West Texas to reconnect with old friends.

When a hula dancer on the run crashes into a broken spirit of a man (a mysterious homeless guy in the dead of night), they begin a journey into a hidden world, developing a connection through humanity, nature, and their culture. The indie film stars Danielle Zalopany as Kea, along with Peter Shinkoda, Jason Quinn, Kimo Kahoano, Nick Masciangelo, and Kainoa Mcgee. There's tons of peculiar,...
