Five years ago, Penelope killed herself. Four years ago, she rose from the dead as a man-eating monster. Now, with the help of “de-necrotizers” – medication meant to subdue these man-eating instincts, she gets to rejoin society in the land of the living. But how do you exist in a world you never wanted to be a part of? Vascular Necrosis follows Penelope’s journey as she’s torn between the life she had before, and the after-life she wants to live.

Faye’s Room is the story of Faye Buckley, an autistic lesbian who works at a queer cafe… and happens to have the power to summon and hide in a magical sensory room at will. When she becomes trapped in this room with her least favourite coworker, son of the founder and token heterosexual Chase McLure, an unlikely bond forms, and the two find themselves having a bit more in common than they’d thought. Faye’s Room is about neurodivergent solidarity, intergenerational bonds, and internalized ableism. It thrusts viewers into the autistic perspective, a world of living mannequins, traveling rooms, and ghosts.

When top-tier travel Youtuber and wheelchair-user Ramona Peet finally returns to Axles — the only fully wheelchair accessible bar in all of downtown St John’s — her old friends are right where she left them. She says she’s back to record a come-home video for her (wildly successful) channel, but as the night goes on the real reason why Ramona wants her old pals on camera comes to light… and forces everyone to answer questions of belonging, identity, and perspective that none of them have ever faced before. Ramona least of all.
