Deep in the woods of Maine, a broken promise made after the September 11th attacks forces two friends to confront the teenagers they were and the men they've become.

Following the tragic death of a spouse, six old friends re-unite for a backpacking trip deep into the woods, hoping to mend the pain and bring back balance. The Answer is a sometimes-comedic 2nd-coming-of-age drama about the oft-neglected relationships between men, and the friendships that lead the way to coping with life’s difficulties.

Perception explores the breach of experience that divides us all by glancing into the lives of three individuals: Clarissa, a young idealistic photographer who chooses to live as a homeless person on the streets of New York, supporting herself meal by meal by selling her photography from a blanket in Central Park; Ralph, a successful real estate salesman who struggles for balance against the cut-throat nature of his business; and Tobias, a perpetual student who gets fired a lot. Perception journeys through the same season of time from each character's point of view, detailing how presumption and mistaken intention leads to great misunderstanding. A moment, revisited from another point of view, takes new dimension--and the line between protagonist and antagonist blurs.

When their small charter school is shut down in the middle of the academic year, a group of at-risk inner city students comes face-to-face with America's broken education system and a world that's full of contradicting lessons.
