In Do the Wrong Thing, Ava tries to give William rent and food money but he won't take it. Modern day Ava dreams that she's pouring "egg piss" over an unidentified food stuff before meeting a Youtube celebrity who wants to be her friend.

In an untitled short, a young man drives across the prairies. He sees a hitchhiker he'd like to pick up but can't stop. A couple argue in a camp site next to him at 4 AM. A Walmart security guard, working a double shift, offers to help him when he learns the man slept in the parking lot. Wonderful, funny and poignant.
