Plot: In a parallel dimension, censorship has been rescinded from all movies and television so people can do and say almost anything on TV. As a result, everyone in the country watches television day and night. It is a national addiction. Enter Dusty Velvet, whose husband has been "taken" for service in the national armed forces. The chances of him surviving are slim because wars have broken out all over Iraq & Iran and the only way to get him back is to "buy" him back from the military for $500,000. A new reality "game show" is on the air offering $1M for the contestant who can last sixty days in a solitary confinement chamber with nothing but a bed, table and toilet. A video camera watches each of the contestants 24/7 and it is the hottest show on television. Dusty Velvet is chosen as a contestant and is slowly becoming the newest "American Idol" for her antics inside the chamber. However, after a long period in darkness and isolation, things suddenly take a horrid turn for the worse in this tale from the darker side of reality.

Plot: The Story of a Chinese restaurant known as "The Golden Empire" is the setting place where different cultures interact with one another on an everyday basis but are as separate as the bulletproof glass that divides their social order. This story takes place in the heart of an intercity at this restaurant in which Jennifer Ting, Ping Ting, and Cousin Leo serve up a hardy appetite of Chinese food to an assortment of characters. With this in mind, the life that takes place on either side of the Plexiglas partition is as different, as the color of their skin. This is a funny and some what dramatic look at the clashing of cultures and how they exist in the midst of controlled everyday chaos. "The Golden Empire" will show you how lives associate adapt and modify to fit an ever changing environment with a climax that will leave you speechless. And the beauty of poetry that delivers a most delightful and enchanting touch

Plot: LOS JODEDORES portrays the complexity of survival amidst a backdrop of drugs, violence and poverty. Honest in its direct portrayal of erratic human behavior, the film draws the audience into the hearts and minds of these characters. Cheo, Frankie, Pachi and Armond have little or no choices, but they are neither one-dimensional nor simply defined by their drug-dealing trade- they are complex characters in their own rights. With chilling insight, Duran offers a scathing look into a tumultuous and vilified underground culture with an unadorned sincerity.
