Not just a choreographer, Elizabeth Streb is a wildly extreme action architect. Born to Fly traces the
evolution of Streb’s movement philosophy as she pushes herself and her dancers from the ground,
to the wall, to the sky. Guided by Streb’s theory of movement – to walk on walls, dive through glass, move so fast you disappear and…fly; the film asks: Can adrenaline be a form of medicine?
When does movement become art? Why be a part of it? How do race, gender, sexuality, and class
appear on the dancers’ performances, on their bodies? Wrestling these questions, Born to Fly offers
an exhilarating tale of the necessity of art, inspiring a broad audience, hungry for a more tactile and
fierce existence in the world.

The Posthuman Project is the feature film debut of Emmy Award winning music video and animation director Kyle Roberts. In the film, Denny Burke is finally about to graduate high school. Senior year has been one bad thing after another: a broken leg, a broken heart, and -- worst of all -- a broken home.

On their trip the five teens receive a genetic boost beyond anything they'd ever imagined. Denny is soon faced with the first big decision of his adult life: does he give up these powers and stay a normal teenager, or does he keep them...and graduate from the human race? With amazing special effects and an inspirational story, The Posthuman Project is exciting fun for the entire family.
