An accidental head injury leaves Grace with the ability to see the auras of humans around her. It also enables her to see Gabriel, a Soul Minder and her protector. The Soul Minders try to prevent certain foreseen events with global consequences from taking place. They are forbidden however, to interfere directly with human souls. Gabriel's concern for Grace takes him out of bounds. This gentle New Age love story is shot primarily in mountain and beach locations along the Cape coast.

An abattoir, real blood and a demonic harpy intent on revenge for her boyfriend's infidelity is the core of independent metal musician and no-budget filmmaker Axe's new film. Despite being shot and edited on sub-standard equipment, the sheer screaming hysteria of Axe's style marks her as a stylist of unsettling originality.
