Joy, a down-on-her-luck, middle-aged housewife, has resigned herself to a life of regret and unfulfilled potential. But when Niev Lapel—a spiritual healer made famous when she received supernatural powers from aliens in the woods—comes to town, Joy is determined to take one final stab at getting what she deserves. Healing Retreat: A Life of Joy, is a visionary, third-eye opening dark comedy that speaks to the universal role we play in forging our own destinies.

TABLETOP invites you to climb inside the minds of five avid gamers as they meet up at their local game shop once a week seeking a reprieve from life’s harsh realities. With seamless transitions we witness the lines between fantasy and reality blur. Hordes of goblins, the rising undead, or their own inner demons – who’s the enemy they’re truly fighting? TABLETOP begs a simple question: are we seeking innocent entertainment, or an unhealthy coping mechanism?

With the help of six zany mutts he faces his fears and makes an unexpected human connection in the process.
