Ghost Robot presents A Love Letter For You, the genre defying new film by award-winning director Joey Garfield. A Love Letter For You seamlessly mixes documentary and narrative, love and loss, community and solidarity, art and crime, to paint a compelling portrait of two artists and their impact on the neighborhood they grew up in. The film documents the notorious graffiti legend, Stephen "ESPO" Powers as he returns to his old stomping grounds in Philadelphia to paint a series of murals on 50 rooftops along the Market train line. The film also weaves in the fictional narrative of FIRE, a young graffiti king who is fresh out of prison on a quest to win back the love and attention of his ex girlfriend. A Love Letter For You mixes a local cast with real-life characters as they rediscover the soul of West Philly and it's dynamic community. The film is a multi-faceted project by Stephen Powers with the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and is sponsored by the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Exhibitions Initiative. The murals have garnered international attention and been published in a coffee table book, featured in a gallery exhibition and generated community education workshops.

The film follows the story of five women, "Sanaz, Saedeh, Tala, Ladan and Beheshteh", each with a unique story, but one thing in common: they all live in a women's shelter in the south-end of Tehran, either by choice or by force. But now they all aim to change their lives for better, even if it is just for a tiny bit.

A movie based on Transgenders, the 'in-betweens' that are shunned by society, unaccepted and forced to make ends meet through sex work. The film, revolves around the lives of three transgenders, their work, their difficulties, their childhood, their relationships, their hobbies, their normality. The film captures small to larger than life movements in their lives, giving us a peak into their world.

Three high rise apartment buildings are under construction.

The streets of Latin-america's big cities are crammed full of cars. Justified by poor public transportation or having chosen isolation, people drive one car each. Outside, a diversity of urban characters take the traffic light, a mere traffic control device, and turn it into their own meeting place.
