Kelley Baker
Two travelers, whose car has gotten stuck in a ditch on a stormy night, end up at The Gas Cafe located somewhere between Heaven and Hell where three people await them. No one is telling the truth in this dark drama that asks the question, "Is there a heaven, or a hell, or have we just fallen in to mass confusion?" The truth, usually unpleasant, comes tumbling out of each character before they can continue on their own personal journeys.

Birddog
Kelley Baker
Tells the story of Harv Beckman, a used car salesman in a trashy part of town who accidentally comes in to possession of a rare 1948 Kaiser automobile, which leads to some disturbing revelations about the facts behind the 1948 Vanport, Oregon flood which destroyed an entire city. Portland, Oregon is the backdrop of this film that explores racism, greed, and class in a very corrupt city. Throw in the local Kiwanis Club and you have a very odd unpredictable film.
