Iron Branches: A Holiday Tale
In a city that has never known holidays, young Phineas builds a mechanical tree from nothing but scrap gears and imagination — an act of quiet rebellion in a world ruled by coal, smoke, and silence.
As whispers spread through the streets, what begins as a simple project grows into something far greater. But in a place where hope has no history, the arrival of the first miracle raises a dangerous question: what will they do with it?

Tip Your Hat to the Hatmaker
Set against the backdrop of New York’s early twentieth-century immigrant boom, Tip Your Hat to the Hatmaker follows Luca, a fourteen-year-old Sicilian boy who arrives in Brooklyn in 1910 with little more than hope in his pocket.
Drawn into the quiet discipline of Giorgio’s hat shop, Luca learns the demanding craft of shaping felt, steaming brims, and building dignity through work. The shop becomes a sanctuary — until the streets beyond its doors reveal darker forces at play.
As Luca comes of age, he must confront loyalty, ambition, and the unseen costs of survival in a world where opportunity and danger walk hand in hand.
