partnr
by Kaylin Allshouse
Jackie (Melinda Nanovsky) is a young ER doctor, who has always been dedicated to her job. She has worked hard to provide for her patients, so much so, it has taken a strain on her past relationships in life. She solves the problem with a PARTNR, a battery powered significant other. Ethan, Jackie's PARTNR, is the full package: handsome, neat, stable - it's a no brainer when she programs him to propose. However, Jackie's errand to the store for a set of batteries puts her on a crash course with fate, or in this case, Dave. The connection between the two is evident and ultimately makes her question what makes a relationship “real”.
the Elms
A historical promotion of the famous Elms Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. Enriched by a new American economy that rewards risk-taking and entrepreneurship, Mr. and Mrs. Berwind have risen to the heights of society. However, there is discord in the house as their 40-person staff is starting to chafe at the long hours, difficult conditions, and low wages. This discontent is mirrored by rising labor unrest at Mr. Berwind’s mines and, in fact, across the country.
The resulting strikes—both by the staff led by Irish immigrant Bridget Lynch (Nanovsky) and the miners—take incredible bravery by immigrant workers who instinctively understand that America is a country that can only be changed by Americans—which they proudly now are.
