A man and his grandmother hide out from an ominous broadcast. The Grim Reaper hosts a TV show. The formerly incarcerated recount and reinterpret their first days of freedom. A suburban mom's life is upturned by the beast growing inside of her. And a high school gym teacher runs drills from inside a volcano. What happens when five of independent film's most adventurous filmmakers join together to literally adapt each other’s dreams for the screen?

The Threshing follows a young couple as they enter the world of regenerative farming. When they first arrive they revel in the bucolic bliss of their new mountainside home, but soon fall into the farm’s more sinister practices, descending from ritualistic animal slaughter to self-mutilation and cannibalism.

In the feature film "collective:unconscious," five independent filmmakers join forces to adapt each other's dreams for the screen. In this segment, director Lauren Wolkstein adapts Frances Bodomo's dream.
