Haunted by the ghosts of Moby Dick and the memory of all those lost to the opiate epidemic, A PHANTOM SONG takes us down to “the crossroads" where the past and future collide in a dramatic struggle for the soul of a long-abandoned theater and its surrounding community. In a blues opera cast directly from the recovery, reentry, and unhoused community, playwright and advocate Michael Gorman and his "Phantoms" create an inspiring chorus of faces and voices that are often unseen and unheard to confront the bias and resistance that often lead to the destructive power of stigma.

Matter of Mind: My Alzheimer’s
MATTER OF MIND: MY ALZHEIMER'S is the final film in a series of three documentaries, each focusing on a different neurodegenerative disease. The documentary follows three families as they confront the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease. The film explores how the disease impacts identities and relationships - when one partner becomes a caregiver or how both parent and child are transformed when the traditional role of provider is reversed. These participants remain anchored by profound and loving bonds amidst financial, logistical, and emotional obstacles.
