FIRED

Cast: Illeana Douglas, Sarah Silverman, Tim Allen, Tate Donovan, Fred Willard

Synopsis: When actress Annabelle Gurwitch was fired from a play by Woody Allen, she wondered how she would cope with being fired by a cultural icon. Turning to friends in show business, she was assured she was not alone. Once the subject had been broached, everyone she knew — from her rabbi, to her gynecologist — had stories of getting the boot. This set her off on a journey to answer the question: was being fired going to be the best thing, or worst thing, that had happened in her working life? This film helps answer that question with appearances by Tim Allen, David Cross, Andy Dick, Illeana Douglas, Jeff Garlin, Judy Gold, Anne Meara, Bob Odenkirk, Robert Reich, Jeffrey Ross, Harry Shearer, Sarah Silverman, Ben Stein, Paul F. Tompkins, Fred Willard.

MAXED OUT

Cast: Chris Barrett, Liz Warren, Luke McCabe, Mark Mumma, Robin Leach

Synopsis: Maxed Out takes viewers on a journey deep inside the American style of debt, where things seem fine as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. With coverage that spans from small American towns all the way to the White House, the film shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of 'preferred customer' and tells us why the poor are getting poorer while the rich keep getting richer. Hilarious, shocking and incisive, Maxed Out paints a picture of a national nightmare which is all too real for most of us.'
