Oedi
Director: Alfred Cooney
Writer: Rich Orloff
Producer: Kimberly Palomo
Synopsis
"Oedi," a farcical retelling of the Oedipus Rex story. Delightfully stereotyped characters seem to step right out of a Mel Brooks production and into Ancient Greece. It touches on issues such as incest, murder and love all within the realm of ancient Greek politics, and pokes fun at some of our current leaders.

Xingu
Director: Alfred Cooney
Writer: Thomas Seller · Based on an Edith Wharton Short Story
Producer: Kimberly Palomo
Synopsis
Discussing books and entertaining prominent guests, The Lunch Club consists of six women of West Chester's upper-class society. Pompous and petty, five of the six members of this club are deluded with thoughts of intellect and great self importance. Edith Wharton's skillful use of satire is both clever and comical in Xingu.
