Tammy's Always Dying

Amy Jo Johnson

Every month, when the welfare money runs out, 35 year-old Catherine has to talk her self-destructive mother off the ledge of the same bridge...literally. This routine has gone on for so long that it’s the only thing Cathy feels she’s good at. And its Tammy’s selfish way of keeping hold of her daughter. When Tammy is diagnosed with terminal cancer and the possibility of life without her becomes very real, so does Cathy’s repressed desire to leave her small town. Does she stay and trust the woman who has always let her down, or does she find the courage to live her own life?


Boycott

Clark Johnson

Using an innovative fusion of scripted scenes with real and recreated documentary footage, this powerful film vividly evokes the tension, energy and excitement of a unique episode in American history: the moment the Civil Rights movement found its leader in Martin Luther King Jr. In 1955, America's eyes were blind to oppression and closed to change...and a solitary act of courage grew into a movement. The Montgomery Bus Boycott--launched when a black woman named Rosa Parks was arrested for sitting in the "whites only" section of a bus--ushered in the modern-day Civil Rights movement and introduced the world to a brave new leader.


Magnum Opus

Kevin Elliott

Actions produce consequences. Behind our decisions often lie complex values, priorities, and experiences, inscrutable to others, even to ourselves. Magnum Opus takes that on, and four main characters embody different approaches to patriotic service and personal liberty, weaving together into a unified - if largely destructive - outcome. Daniel Cliff is a soldier and an artist, a man of integrity who wields his instinct and intellect, regardless of the consequence to himself, to follow what he sees as right. Cliff's purported opposition, who regards the safety and protection of the American public as his highest ideal, also carries out what he believes to be right, and so Magnum Opus offers at its core the conflict between right and right, and the consequences of impossible choices.
