LONG GONE BY
Dir. Andrew Morgan, 2019
An immigrant, single mother Ana goes to any lengths to ensure her daughter lives a better life than hers, even if it means robbing a few banks.
An Official Selection of the 2019 New York Latino Film Festival, Long Gone By tells the story of Ana and Isabella, mother and daughter living in small-town Indiana. When economic pressure threatens Isabella’s future at college, Ana sees the life she wished for her daughter slipping away. And with Ana’s possible deportation looming, she has nothing to lose, and will secure her daughter’s future by any means necessary.
Long Gone By explores the intersection of what it means to be an immigrant, a mother, and an American.

THE LAST FARM
A farmer is forced to choose sides when two kids orphaned by the bordering war land on her doorstep.
Set in a near-future, in a small Appalachian valley, a Farmer lives a solitary life. The bordering war doesn’t bother her, so long as she can stay out of it. Rebels and soldiers alike can play cat-and-mouse in the hills just outside her land, so long as she stays out. But when two children show up on her door, hunted by a capable and charismatic commander, her neutrality is challenged, and she’s forced to decide the cost of her deeply held beliefs.
The Last Farm is a story about the dangers of blind belief, the illusion of neutrality, and a warning about the things we cling to.
The Last Farm was a selected screenplay for the Fall 2019 Stowe Story Labs Narrative Lab.
