These short films have shown in festivals here in the US and abroad.  The Geometry of Pie mixes cooking and philosophy for a bit of sweet indulgence.  Little Miss Malice focuses on that nice lady serial killer next door.  And Chocolate suggests a whole tale of illicit affairs and clueless spouses from a script built on the one title word - chocolate.

Food and memory, food and culture.  Making an apple pie is a window into the past, both personal and cultural.  But mostly making a pie is about the pie.  Follow the steps and the train of thoughts as Susan puts together a short homage to mom and apple pie.

LITTLE MISS MALICE

That nice lady serial killer next door uses a garage sale as the set up for a perfect murder.   Why?  Because she can.

CHOCOLATE

Official Selection Slow Food on Film Fest

Award-winning playwright Mary Lathrop concocted this two-minute confection from a single, beloved word:  chocolate.  Here, two couples each come up against the invisible gulf that separates the chocalate lover from lesser mortals.
