Synopsis - "Life or Something Like It"
What would you do if you thought you only had one week left to live? Would you radically change what was left of your life? Re-evaluate your values and priorities?Those are the last questions in the world that Lanie Kerrigan (Angelina Jolie) thought she’d ever have to face. A feature reporter at a Seattle television station, Lanie thinks her life is perfect. Perfect job. Perfect apartment. Perfect wardrobe. Perfect boyfriend.
But her "perfect" world starts unraveling after a homeless street seer (Tony Shalhoub) tells Lanie that she leads a meaningless existence, and will die the following week. When the savant’s other predictions come true, Lanie begins to re-examine her life and priorities, all in a whirlwind one-week period. As if things weren’t crazy enough for Lanie, romantic sparks fly as she reluctantly teams with a cameraman (Edward Burns) with whom she has long been at odds.

Synopsis - "The Salton Sea"
In the opening scene of “The Salton Sea,” we are introduced to Danny Parker sitting alone on a bed in a dilapidated rooming house with a duffel bag full of money. Around him the room is ablaze with fire, but he seems unaware, quietly playing his trumpet. In voice-over against this distressing image Danny speaks to us, seeking to define who and what he has become. This opening confessional reveals him to be a man in crisis, struggling with his identity and haunted by his past. His probing questions propel us backwards into the story and we begin to travel through the recent events of his life that lead him to this critical point.
