Sasha is a young vampire with a very serious problem: she’s too sensitive to kill! Frustrated by their daughter’s empathy for humans, Sasha’s parents decide to cut off her blood supply to force her to learn how to hunt… or starve! Just as she decides to reject her vampire instincts and embrace a final death, she meets a lonely teenager named Paul who is willing to give his life to save hers, on the condition that she help to fulfill his final wishes before day breaks.

This looks like a magical evening.

"Moses Zaltzman is a beloved rabbi in a dusty desert town. When his congregation is violently attacked, police accuse a young white nationalist who threatened them in the past, but Rabbi Mo thinks the troubled teen may be innocent. With no one else willing to investigate, Rabbi Mo becomes the detective, and as the bodies pile up, he becomes a modern day resistance fighter and must learn how to use a gun. At the heart of the film is the unexpected bond between the rabbi and an antisemite, as well as Mo’s looming fear that he won’t pull the trigger if he has to… and that he will."

After graduating college, Annie (Natalia Dyer) is the only one of her friends who stayed behind in her small college city of Philadelphia for the summer. She has a good job lined up in LA come fall and is seemingly ready to make the leap, but things still feel unfinished. During this aimless in-between period, Annie finds herself entangled with Tyler (Rachel Keller), a woman she meets out at a bar one night, and Danny (Danny Ramirez), Tyler's co-worker... or best friend... or more? Annie is never quite sure.
