Nathaniel Garten is just another volunteer at the local hospital. After work, he helps out at Saint Matthias Emergency Medical Center, in general trying to lift the spirits of patients and their families. Every day, he sees grief and sadness, but manages to catch glimpses of the happy moments too. He sees pregnant women giving birth to the first child to start a family, and wrinkled men taking their last breaths surrounded by loved ones. Past all this normal flow of emotion, someone he's asked to talk to is left in this emotion by themselves- something that catches his eye, and he quickly gains interest in the patient. Cameron Valesquez has known that with his family history, these headaches weren't just normal. After they'd lasted for a week, he made the drive to the hospital alone; his father had passed away of the same genetic disease, and with no other family left to the young man, the news is kept between his doctor and himself. With no option but to stay in the hospital until other arrangements are made, Cameron finds that the best company he has is a hospital volunteer.

Greatest

A teenager recounts the last few months of his life as he refuses to fight his father's battles and desperately tries to experience all he can before an aggressive brain cancer claims him. Loosely based on Christopher Marlowe's 'Tamburlain the Great'. Cyrus Laine is given less than a year to live, and he's determined to make it the greatest year of his life. He is going to go to school, kiss his crush, and most of all, hide his debilitating illness from everyone, including his younger brothers. It's not going well, considering his crush is the handsomest boy in school who probably isn't gay, he's having seizures and raging headaches at every turn, and his father is riding him harder than ever, but Cyrus is determined to make this the greatest year of his life, or die trying. Trigger/Content: some brief violence and profanity, psychological and physical abuse, some upsetting sequences and conversations involving end of life issues and cancer. Be aware of your mental state and seek support if needed.
