SNOWY BING BONGS ACROSS THE NORTH STAR COMBAT ZONE (2017)

Director: Alex H. Fischer, Rachel Wolther Run Time: 41 min.

Starring: Sunita Mani, Tallie Medel, Eleanore Pienta, Kate Berlant, Reggie Watts, Bob Armstrong, Joe Pera, Keith Poulson

This blissfully bonkers whatzit from unclassifiable dance-comedy trio Cocoon Central Dance Team is part psychotropic performance art spectacle, part absurdist sketch show. The three Bing Bongs—Tallie Medel, Sunita Mani & Eleanore Pienta—lounge about, fight beachballs, and periodically break into wondrously strange dance routines, with outer space interludes, a serious consideration of doctor boners, and a 90s-style girl group meltdown along the way. It all plays like a live action cartoon piped in from a cotton-candy-colored alternate universe. (Nellie Killian)

BEST THING YOU’LL EVER DO (2016)

Director: Catherine Fordham Run Time: 22 min. Format: Digital

Starring: Monica West, Myra Lucretia Taylor, Michelle Ang, Bhavesh Patel, Liam Vincent

This award-winning series, written by Monica West and directed by Catherine Fordham, addresses the age old question of whether to bae or not to bae. Mae (played by West) is an up-and-coming entrepreneur who sets her sights on the opportunity of a lifetime but when she unexpectedly meets the man of her dreams, she feels forced to decide between pursuing career success or starting a family.
