Watson, Before I Go To Sleep is the story of a woman (Nicole Kidman) who wakes up every day with no memory as the result of a traumatic accident in her past.

ABCs of Death 2 — Co-Directed by Kristina Buozyte, Jen and Sylvia Soska
ABCs of Death 2 is the follow-up to the most ambitious anthology film ever conceived, with productions spanning from Nigeria to the UK to Brazil and everywhere in between. It features segments directed by over two dozen of the world’s leading talents in contemporary genre film. The film is comprised of twenty-six individual chapters, each helmed by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were then given free rein in choosing a word to create a story involving death. Provocative, shocking, funny and at times confrontational, ABCs of Death 2 is another global celebration of the next generation genre filmmaking. (Press materials)
