In BUTTER ON THE LATCH, Sarah (Sarah Small) reunites with her old friend Isolde (Isolde Chae-Lawrence) at a Balkan folk song and dance camp in the woods of Mendocino, California, and with a haunting song she learned years ago. When Sarah pursues a romance with a new camper Steph (Charlie Hewson), the nights of sensual secrets and singing with Isolde come to an abrupt end.

THOU WAST MILD AND LOVELY - When Akin (Joe Swanberg) arrives at the farm, he finds his job. This is what he expected to find. When Sarah (Sophie Traub) opens her legs, she finds someone watching. This is what she expected to find. THOU WAST MILD AND LOVELY is a highly intimate and subtly erotic thriller inspired by John Steinbeck’s East of Eden and featuring love, death, guns, goats, a farmer, his grown daughter, and the secrets they no longer succeed in keeping.
