Luck

Gabby, a dysfunctional guardian angel struggling with addiction, fails miserably at her job of protecting her human assignment Derrik from the dangers of living on Earth.

Shocked, Gabby goes through stages of grief, revealing to Derrik exactly how she got to this low point in her existence, including her deepest and darkest secrets.

Guardian

She’s a department store window designer, he’s a Nordic warrior trapped in the body of a mannequin. When her nosy co-workers disrupt our star-crossed lovers’ hushed romance, Kate and Leif must attempt a daring escape from their enchanted diorama. Can their magical bond survive the escape, or will the cynical gaze of the outside world reduce their romance to a pile of plastic?

Still Together

All is not what it seems when a father and son have a violent confrontation on Christmas Eve.

Little Drummer Boy, The

Bernard checks himself into a motel for yet another one of his business trips. When he accidentally stumbles into the wrong motel room, he meets a couple with a mischievous proposition. What at first seems enticing soon becomes fraught with tension as simmering conflicts between the lovers flare up, leaving Bernard to play unwitting mediator to their messy drama.

Bernard Checks In

People confess to their priest...or their bartender. Three souls tell their tales on a quiet night in a NJ bar.

Across The Bar

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, NYC's Washington Heights neighborhood was considered the epicenter of America's crack cocaine epidemic. Amid gang wars, street riots and growing tensions between citizens and police - the community needed a safe space, a political hub, a cultural center and a home-away-from-home. Coogan's Way is the story of how a small bar and restaurant that welcomed all races, religions and interests became a force for good in their community. Coogan's Way is the first feature-length documentary from former BBC News journalist and Catholic University of America media studies professor Glenn Østen
