Circumscribed: A True Tall-Tale of One Father, Two Sons, and Thousands of Foreskins
It's a show about growing up with a father who was a mohel (Jewish ritual circumciser) who buried foreskins at home, failed efforts at finding paternal figures after his untimely death, and wrestling with circumcising his own kid. Weaving together family video, pictures, and audio recordings, this comedic storytelling is a perfect show about the loveable eccentrics we call family.

Full of Grace
Full of Grace follows Father Andrea, a very peculiar clergyman as he administers a very peculiar worship service.

He can't get you to Italy, but he might help get you to heaven.

Meet one Aussie bloke who can relate… He’s crass, chain-smokes, blows his paycheck on KFC and Marvel tatts and stumbles into knife fights. This is Big Mike - a wiry, heart-on-his-sleeve barista with big plans, good intentions and a magnetism for tragedy.
