No Man's Land

No Man’s Land is a drama set on the border of Texas and Mexico that delves into issues about immigration, family, and cultures through a straight-up chase thriller. But the film gives audiences a nuanced look at life along the border while not taking sides and turns a lens on life in Mexico that’s rarely seen in a US film.

Our Friend

Our Friend tells the inspiring and extraordinary true story of the Teague family—journalist Matt (Casey Affleck), his vibrant wife Nicole (Dakota Johnson), and their two young daughters—and how their lives are upended by Nicole's heartbreaking diagnosis of terminal cancer. As Matt's responsibilities as caretaker and parent become increasingly overwhelming, the couple's best friend Dane Faucheux (Jason Segel) puts his life on hold to stay with his friends, and the impact of this life-altering decision proves greater and more profound than anyone could have imagined.
