Unimaginable

“How much does love have to hurt before it is not love?” is the question that plagues Antonio as the past demons of domestic violence resurface at the hands of his partner, Kirk. Antonio hides his physical and emotional pain from his all-knowing mother, Cynthia, who suffered such a tremendous amount of abuse at the hands of Antonio’s father that Antonio became a nurse to heal pain that he could not heal as a child. Antonio is jolted out of his denial by one of his patients, Michelle , who is also, a frequent victim of domestic violence. While Michelle does not consider herself a victim, but as simply part of a couple that “loves hard and fight hard”, a critical incident involving Michelle at the clinic forces Antonio to confront his own situation and reevaluate the “magic and tragic” of his life with Kirk before it is too late.

Censurado: Ode To Love

Dir. Mauro Russo Rouge | Italy | 77 min Christmas Eve. The clock has just struck at midnight. A man is sitting on the couch beside the great Christmas tree dominating the wide living room. Decorations, lights, colors. Lisa, his nine-year-old daughter, is unwrapping presents of any kind. She's happy and smiling. It's a celebration like others, maybe... It comes from a basic idea: the destabilization of the individual through and irrevocable and impending event. CENSURADO, is a dramatic movie. A love story full of violence an coincidences. It’s a movie with a “ruthless realism”, fruit of the world we are living in. Destabilization aiming to sensitize and make people think. It is a wonderful consideration on love, pain and fate.

Sweethearts of the Gridiron

On September 12, 1940, the Rangerettes took the field for the first time, and made history by changing football halftime entertainment forever. Dubbed 'sweethearts of the nation's gridiron' by broadcaster and NFL Hall of Fame legend Red Grange, the Rangerettes were founded as part of a pre-Title IX initiative by Kilgore College President Dr. B.E. Masters. His goals were to equalize the male-female student body ratio and to encourage women to exercise and participate in sports. He also had the goal of keeping the hard-living oil field roughnecks in their seats during halftime, rather than drinking and brawling under the stands.

SKID (2014)

Blissfully unaware that Atlantica Flight 1945 from Atlanta to Amsterdam is about to make aviation history, First Officer Danny McSweeney focuses his energies on navigating the turbulent personalities of an eccentric female captain, a co-pilot with a talent for tactless comments and conspiracy theories, and a lead flight attendant with an outsized attitude that definitely exceeds the limits for carry-on baggage. On the other side of the cockpit door, the unscheduled in-flight entertainment includes a potbellied pig, a jittery diamond courier, and the recently jilted Lucy Meredith, whose personal mantra of “What Would Oprah Do?” will be challenged by the sudden appearance of her ex and his new traveling partner. On her left sits Hank Hazard, whose unusually polite but constant requests–prompted by his covert role as a spy for the airline–test the limits of the crew’s customer service. But as Lucy and the rest of the crew discover, Hank’s odd behavior is linked to a quiet faith that may play a key role in the fate of everyone on board. Especially when an unexpected traveler sets this already bumpy flight on a course toward the unfriendly skies.
