Bad Shabbos  with Kyra Sedgwick, David Paymer, director Daniel Robins. Winner of the Tribeca Film Festival Audience Award, a salvo of family disfunction and black comedy filled with surprise, suspense, jeopardy and hilarity.


Eephus  directed by Carson Lund, nominated for two awards at the Cannes Film Festival, Eephus is a passion project about the game of baseball, not the Major League version, but what it’s like for those men, who play, only for the love of the game, and what it means to the fabric of America.


Eric LaRue  with Judy Greer, Alexander Skarsgard, director Michael Shannon. Adapted from Brett Neveu’s play about a mother coping with the fallout after her son murders three of his high school classmates, a film that pulses with emotionally gripping, top-of-their-game work from Michael Shannon and his cast.


Holy Cow  with Clement Faveau, Maiwene Barthelemy, director Louise Courvoisier. Winner of the Youth Prize at Cannes, and nominated for three Lumiere Awards, a verite’ drama of the earthy challenges of French farming, youthful passion, and an ode to the love of cheese.


One to One: John & Yoko  with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, directors Kevin Macdonald, Sam Rice-Edwards. Set in 1970’s New York, a turbulent time, amidst the chaos of Nixon, Vietnam, Attica and Willowbrook, intercut with a TV diet of Mary Tyler Moore, Tony the Tiger and the miracle of Tuperware, John and Yoko lend a hand with their One to One charity concert for special needs children.


Sally  with Sally Ride, director Cristina Costantini. The life and legacy of Dr. Sally Ride, the first American woman to blast off into space, but not without facing the challenges of institutional critics and the prejudice of an American public who were skeptical that a woman could do the job of an astronaut.


The Shepherd and the Bear directed by Max Keegan. An aging shepherd struggles to find a successor as bears prey on his flock, and a teenage boy becomes obsessed with tracking the bears. A modern folk tale that reveals tradition, community and humanity’s relationship with a vanishing natural world.
