Arousing long dormant feelings of grief, loss, and anger, the encounter allows each member of the family to reexamine the ways, remembered but also surprising, that a son’s/brother’s death had affected their lives.

The dignified mother of a ruthless African dictator travels to England to seek treatment for her failing eyesight from a renowned ophthalmologist, who in turn requests a favor. At first glance, it looks like one woman helping another, but each woman brings to the other her true agenda, triggering a profound moral dilemma and a chain reaction of events with great personal and political aftershocks that reveal the truth and its consequence.

Directed by Greg Smith
Produced by Barbara Jorgensen

It is the night before President Nixon is to announce his resignation, and he has summoned Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to the Lincoln Sitting Room. Kissinger arrives, expecting to find his President preparing to resign but Nixon leads his Secretary of State on a journey through the high moments of his administration and Nixon’s past. The journey borders on the surreal as Nixon pressures Kissinger into reenacting crucial scenes. Meanwhile, Kissinger is subtly working to convince Nixon to step down so that he can pursue his geopolitical goals—and his own quest for historical glory—unencumbered by a weakened President. Contains Nixon’s “authentic” adult language.

Directed by Janet Powell

Cast: Les Landen as Henry Kissinger & Michael Schlotterbeck as Richard Nixon

Reviews: Enquirer |Behind the Curtain | CityBeat |

This explosive new drama examines the relationship between headstrong Sarah, a star photojournalist, and James, a foreign correspondent, who were once addicted to the adrenaline of documenting the realities of war and are now grounded in their Brooklyn loft. Now, James writes online movie reviews while Sarah recovers from being injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq, itching to get back behind the camera. But, when their own story takes a sudden turn, the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life…and everything changes-in a flash. A gripping story of the war waged within ourselves, set against the backdrop of the Middle East conflict. This production contains mature language and mature themes and may not be suitable for all audiences.
