JENNY'S REASONS
Bridging the gap between education and entertainment, 'Jenny's Reasons' provides a haunting look at teen depression and the often unwitting family dynamics that surround it. The powerful, award-winning short finds its main character, Jenny, in the throes of clinical depression, unable to understand the reasons she 'feels so bad all the time'. Deeply confused and desperately overwhelmed, Jenny makes plans to end her life ~ plans that are ultimately thwarted when her best friend, Tanya, confronts her and shares a dark secret of her own.

GHOSTS IN THE HALL
The second episode in the award-winning 'Maple Ave' series focuses on teen bullying and the tragedies inherent when parents as well as their teens unfairly label one another. Jim has reached the edge of violence after being the victim of incessant bullying. Unfortunately, Jim's family doesn't help him cope with his problems and things get progressively worse. In contrast, Jenny's family engages in healthy confrontations as they cope with their concerns following Jenny's period of depression (see 'Jenny's Reasons'). The award-winning 'Ghosts in the Hall' continues 'Maple Ave''s unique focus on the inner life of teens and their families. (©2004, OutreachArts, Inc., CC, Run Time: 23:05.) View Clip

THE HURTING
In this episode, series character, Ashley resorts to 'cutting' to cope with an abusive father, who's regularly victimized her family as far back as she can remember. Like a growing number of teens nationwide, Ashley regularly cuts her arms and legs, substituting her overwhelming inner pain and rage with an external pain that she is seemingly better able to manage. This last illusion is finally dispelled in a heart-wrenching finale that finds a desperate Ashley reaching out to a sympathetic teacher (Ms. Tanner) for help.

P.S. I MISS YOU
This episode focuses on series regular, Tanya and the toll her family situation has taken on her in the year and a half following her older brother's suicide. During this time, Tanya has been coping by helping others, but gradually this proves not to be enough, and she turns to drinking to ease her pain (in between haunting dreams about her dead brother). Ultimately, things get out of control and her best friend, Jenny intervenes to get her friend some much-needed help. (©2006, OutreachArts, Inc., CC, Run Time: 21:45.) View Clip
