Hard Candy is a provocative drama about a 32-year-old man who takes home a 14-year-old girl he meets on the Internet - with surprising consequences.

A smart, charming teenage girl, Hayley probably shouldn’t be going to a local coffee shop to meet Jeff, a 30-something fashion photographer she met on the Internet. But Hayley’s ready to have fun, and soon she’s mixing screwdrivers at Jeff’s place and stripping for an impromptu photo shoot. It’s Jeff’s lucky night – until his vision blurs and he passes out.

Turns out Hayley isn’t as innocent as she looks after all. In fact, she has a lot on her mind. Like getting Jeff to confess to his penchant for teenage girls – and to what he did to Donna Mauer, the girl who disappeared from Jeff’s favorite coffee shop.

An edge-of-your-seat psychotic thriller, “Hard Candy” exposes the visceral terror and violence that lie at the heart of the battle of the sexes.

Libby, Montana is a journey into the world of a hard-working, blue-collar community that exemplifies the American Dream:

Nestled below the rugged peaks of the Northern Rockies and along the crystal-clear Kootenai River lies the small town of Libby, Montana - an ironic setting for a town where many hundreds of people are sick or have already died from asbestos exposure. The Environmental Protection Agency calls Libby the worst case of community-wide exposure to a toxic substance in U.S. history. As residents see their family members and friends contract deadly diseases, the company responsible for the toxic mess leaves town and declares bankruptcy. A small, unlikely group of citizens comes together to fight for their town. They find themselves at odds with local politicians, the state governor, senators, an international corporation, and even their own friends and neighbors. Some prominent town residents claim the issue has been blown out of proportion by a zealous few and a young charismatic federal bureaucrat in charge of clean-up. Emotions fly and solutions are hard to find in this disturbing, yet strangely humorous true drama.

Resurrection Mary was written and directed by Michael Lansu and stars Jason Ryan Lovett, Joe Estevez, Rebecca Shea, Eva Bloomfield, and Bree Pavey.

Six months before his wedding, Shawn (Jason Ryan Lovett) is suddenly filled with doubt. Maybe it was the family wedding, maybe it was his friends, maybe all it took was the beautiful girl in white. Before he knows it, casual glances turn into something more. His fiancée, Amy (Rebecca Shea), knows things aren’t right, but Shawn isn’t talking - that is, until the girl in white hitches a ride.

Now the glances and guilt become an argument, ending with the girl walking down the dark road again. The fight continues, and when Amy gets suspicious, she forces Shawn to turn the car around to find the girl, but Shawn doesn’t see her until she darts in front of the car.

The accident leaves Amy in a coma, and Shawn bruised, with few answers and unable to separate the girl in white from facts and legend. When he returns to the ballroom, Wilkes (Joe Estevez), the owner, lets Shawn in on the decades-old secret: Mary is in a dance with the devil. Now sins, sanity, and Amy’s salvation are at stake as Shawn searches for a way to bring her back, and Mary comes looking for the soul she should have taken before.

Fuck - the movie that dare not speak its name - has been picked up by THINKFilm for worldwide release.

According to director, Steve Anderson:

I wanted to make an entertaining and thoughtful film about the word, and I was ready to see where it would take me.

And with a host of talent talking about the film’s subject, it does look like he’s managed to make a seriously funny dissection of the word.

Friends With Money, which stars Jennifer Aniston, Catherine Keener, Frances Mc Dormand and Joan Cusack recently premiered as the opening night selection at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Friends With Money is the telling new comedy from the acclaimed writer/director Nicole Holofcener.

Jennifer Aniston, Frances McDormand, Joan Cusack and Catherine Keener star as a quartet of west coast, life-long friends who have achieved a level of comfort in their lives and have now settled into a life of designer clothes, charity events, and caring for the men (and offspring) in their lives. But as they approach ‘a certain age,’ unsettling things are starting to throw their comfortable lives off balance.

There’s Olivia (Jennifer Aniston) who, reaching a personal crisis, has quit her teaching job and is now cleaning houses for a living. She is looking for support - fiscal and emotional - from her more well-heeled acquaintances and continues her search for a significant other among the slim pickings on offer.

Jane and Aaron (Frances McDormand and Simon McBurney) are successful designers whose marriage has reached a pivotal point in which the pair have become oblivious to each other’s concerns, and perhaps even to their own natures.

Christine and her husband Patrick (Catherine Keener and Jason Isaacs) are a professionally partnered, screenwriting couple whose latest projects - co-writing a script and expanding their house - raise tensions at home to a new level.

Franny and Matt (Joan Cusack and Bob Stephenson) are the independently wealthy ones, raising their two children amidst an abundant lifestyle that calls their united front of a partnership into question.

As the couples move from one get together to another, a group portrait begins to emerge of people in like and love with one another, in various configurations. Friends with Money is a modern comedy drama about contemporary adults in search of love, friendship, and filthy lucre but finding everything in a state of constant flux.

Friends With Money opens in the US on Friday April 7, 2006 in New York and Los Angeles.

Artist and Radical, Ron English hates “heights, falls and being arrested” but he and his crew have built a career out of hijacking billboards to create startling anti-ads that proclaim “America - Home of the Homeless” or, more controversially, “Let’s Get Drunk and Kill God”.

POPaganda: The Art & Crimes of Ron English is a film about the culture-jamming and billboard-liberation antics of Ron English. The modern day Robin Hood of Madison Avenue, Ron paints, perverts, infiltrates, reinvents and satirizes modern culture on canvas, in songs, and directly on hundreds of pirated billboards. Shot entirely guerilla-style, the film chronicles the evolution of an artist who offers an alternative universe where nothing is sacred, everything is subverted and there’s always room for a little good-natured fun.

The original 30 minute version has recently been expended to a full-feature documentary running time 82:00 minutes. This film is in competition for the Golden Gate Award!
