    In the early twentieth century, a group of lumberjacks head into a remote part of the woods to work. The plan is to spend two weeks felling trees and finishing a log flume, but a series of attacks from a forest monster forces them to change their plans. Their camp's remote location makes escaping from the woods nearly impossible, but fighting the monster has deadly consequences. The men must use their brains and their brawn if they're going to make it out alive.

  • Bag of Chips

    Author and screenwriter Geoffrey D. Calhoun joins the crew to write a story about a bag of chips. Specifically, a bag of potato chips, although it seems no one told Shep that, because his pitch is about a hacker who steals a bag of computer chips. Never wanting to back down from a challenge, the group finds a way to make it work, and together they create a story about a heist to steal potato-based computer chips.

  • Shamrock

    The solo female traveler from America visiting Ireland and falling in love with a handsome Irishman is a pretty standard rom-com trope at this point, so we decided to shake things up a bit. In our story, an Irishman living abroad in the United States comes home and falls in love with an American woman living in Ireland. It's a story about family, tacos, and the Shamrock Inn.
