CLOSING ESCROW

Cast: April Barnett, Andrew Friedman, Colleen Crabtree, Samantha Holt, Wendi McLendon-Covey

Synopsis: CLOSING ESCROW is the story of three quirky families seeking to buy their next home. They’re all moving for different reasons—and none of them are getting along with their real estate agents.
African American attorneys Bobby and Tamika have hired Hillary Macella as their real estate agent. Hillary is a racially hyper-sensitive white woman dealing with more than her share of white guilt. That is until she gets mugged, and starts seeing the world quite a bit differently.
Tom and Dawn are an unconventional couple. When they met, Tom was happily married to another woman. But thanks to Dawn’s unstoppable persistence (the police reports called it stalking, but Dawn doesn’t like to think of it that way), Tom was convinced to leave his wife and start his life over again in a new home with Dawn. They’ve wound up with a shady real estate agent with a knack for damaging homes to make them more affordable for his clients. This makes house hunting somewhat awkward for Tom and Dawn, not to mention a little dangerous.
Mary and Allen feel like they’ve lucked out with their real estate agent. Not only is Peter Jacobsen a great guy and a talented agent, he’s also their friend. But as it happens, Peter is living in a much nicer house than Mary and Allen can afford, sparking a one sided competition with jealous Allen as he connivingly tries to one-up his agent in the middle of their house hunt.
All three families converge on the same property which inevitably goes into multiple offers. Who gets the house?

THE DEATH AND LIFE OF BOBBY Z

A scheming DEA agent (Laurence Fishburne, Mission: Impossible III) needs somebody to impersonate recently deceased druglord Bobby Z... and Tim happens to be a dead ringer. It's a risky proposition, but if Tim plays his part right, he may be able to claim Bobby Z's smoking hot ex-girlfriend (Olivia Wilde, Alpha Dog) and a cool fortune in illegal profits. Unfortunately, taking on Bobby Z's name also means taking on his bloodthirsty enemies. Caught in the crossfire, Tim runs for his life as he tries to find a way out of his deadly masquerade. Also starring UFC Light Heavyweight Champ Chuck Liddell.

Synopsis: 16-year-old STEPHANIE DALEY (Amber Tamblyn) is hospitalized unexpectedly during a school fieldtrip while, in a nearby public restroom, a dead newborn is discovered. Faced with charges of murder, Stephanie claims she never knew she was pregnant and that the child was stillborn. Forensic psychologist LYDIE CRANE (Tilda Swinton) is hired to determine the truth behind Stephanie’s continuing state of denial. Coincidentally, Lydie is herself pregnant and struggles with an impending fear that her marriage and her pregnancy is in jeopardy. Her intuition intensifies with each session with Stephanie and she soon believes that unraveling the teenager’s mystery is somehow crucial to her own fate. Featuring gripping performances by Tilda Swinton and Academy Award-winner Timothy Hutton, STEPHANIE DALEY is anchored by a brave powerhouse performance by Amber Tamblyn. Writer/director Hilary's Brougher's evocative film, winner of Best Screenplay at Sundance Film Festival, weaves two parallel journeys into a sublime masterpiece about the absolute nature of truth.
