LEVELING UP by Deborah Zoe Laufer
How do you straddle the fuzzy line between reality and virtual reality when you’re playing video games 20 hours a day? Ian, Zan, and Chuck are two years out of college when the government comes looking for expert gamers to launch remote missiles. Echo brings North Texas audiences one of the first opportunities to experience this new, unpublished work-in-process by the author of End Days. Directed by Terri Ferguson.

MATT & BEN by Mindy Kaling & Brenda Withers
Matt & Ben depicts its Hollywood golden boys -- before J-Lo, before Gwyneth, before Project Greenlight, before Oscar ... before anyone actually gave a damn. When the screenplay for Good Will Hunting drops mysteriously from the heavens, the boys realize they’re being tested by a Higher Power. Alternate Reality indeed, since the script demands that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck be played by 2 actresses! "Absolutely delightful and deliciously spiteful! Sharp and clever." — The New York Times. Directed by Kelly Thomas.

JUMP/CUT by Neena Beber
Three bright urbanites want to make their mark on the world. Paul, a master of irony and distance, is a hardworking film maker on the rise. His girlfriend Karen, a grad student, must get on with her thesis or find a life outside of academia. Dave, a lifelong buddy whose brilliance is being consumed by increasingly severe episodes of manic depression, is camping on Paul's couch. When Paul and Karen decide to turn Paul into a documentary, the camera is on 24 hours a day. Love, moviemaking, friendship, and ambition collide."A remarkable, absorbing, complex and intelligent play." - Variety. Directed by Rhonda Blair.
