Written by Alexx Rouse & Zach Robinson

The Kids in the Hall meets the American Idol open auditions in this kooky, hilarious, cringey take on the world’s most pretentious poetic evening. From Alexx Rouse (Fringe hit Buster Bumpers and Other Metaphors) and Zach Robinson (Serials 8 Favorite All’s Faire) comes the story of a ridiculous cast of horrible poets searching for the beauty in how ugly an open mic can be.

CFF18: ANNALISE

Written by Vicky Alcorn

Annalise, now an adult and a best-selling author, looks back on her teenage days through an interview about how her childhood has impacted her writing as an adult, as well as though staged flashbacks. Annalise was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder when she was young, and can’t remember a time when she was… well, “normal.” In order to help distance herself from her disorder, Annalise pretends it’s a whole different person. His name is Alex. Her whole world gets thrown for a loop when one day she meets Danny. Depressed and friendless, Danny also copes with his disorder in the same way Annalise does, and her name is Debbie. Together, Danny and Annalise learn to trust not only each other, but themselves. For the first time in their lives, they finally don’t feel like they’re alone.
