Down Bad written by Isabel Carvajal

Down Bad is what you’d get if Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Addison Rae’s ‘Diet Pepsi’ had wild, unforgettable sex and gave birth to a cunty rom-com musical.

Daniela and Naomi, are best friends on the verge of glamorous career breakthroughs in NYC. When Naomi falls for Daniela’s favorite hookup and Daniela meets a charismatic DJ, they find themselves in unfamiliar territory: real feelings. As jealousy, career struggles, and romantic drama unfold, they must choose what matters most: fame, love, or their friendship. 

The Amazing Life Cadenza: Emotional Voids, Digital Hallucinations, and Suicidal Spirals written by Tina Qiu

A depressive girl navigates her life through the blurred edge between video games and realities, along with the everchanging dynamic between her friend and her crush.
