In Mistatim, which is based on a concept from Sandra Laronde of Red
Sky Performance, two eleven-year-olds strike up an unlikely friendship
at the fence between one's reservation and the other's ranch. On Speck's
side, she's carved names of family members into the wooden posts as she
tries to piece together her identity. On Calvin's, he's trying to train
a horse in order to prove himself to his father. Speck realizes she can
communicate with horses, and with this gift, the pair work to liberate
Calvin's horse, and in the process learn about one another's cultures.
In Instant, three teens find out how far they'll go in their quest to
be seen and heard. Meredith is a singer-songwriter who makes YouTube
videos of covers in an attempt to gain Internet fame. But her friend
Jay, a rising hockey star, can't understand why she won't post her
original songs. When their classmate Rosie suddenly goes viral after a
video is posted of her singing to raise money for her father's medical
bills, Meredith's jealousy takes over, and pushes Rosie too far,
triggering a near-deadly response.
