Crawford (actor), Colton Dennis (actor), Thomas J. DeSimone (actor), David Agranov (actor),

Plot: ALLEYCAT is an 85 minute live-action film that takes place in San Francisco and California's Central Valley. In addition to centering around a bicycle race, the housing fallout of the mid 2000's acts as a backdrop for our protagonist Lucas and his wife Petra. An alleycat is an informal bike race, originated by bike messengers with tasks and checkpoints. As Lucas competes in this race, he embarks on both a spiritual and physical journey. Through a series of vignettes, he encounters a colorful group of characters along the way. Some provide Lucas with encouragement, others act as roadblocks. After completing the race, Lucas reaches a profound insight on who he is, and what direction his new life must go. He is forced to face the truth of himself, and decide if he can move forward with this new understanding. Drawing inspiration from EASY RIDER, THE SWIMMER and MACAFRAMA, ALLEYCAT is sure to be one of the most unique independent films of 2014.

The Little Tin Man (2013)

Actors: Aaron Beelner (actor), Cory Cavin (actor), Santa Claus (actor), Chris Henry Coffey (actor), Michael Delaney (actor), Eddie Dunn (actor), Norm Golden (actor), Greg Hildreth (actor), Jeff Hiller (actor), Emmanuel Maldonado (actor), Michael McGlone (actor), John Milhiser (actor), Tony Mitchell (actor), Mike O'Gorman (actor), Sean Allison (actor),

Plot: The Little Tin Man is an intelligent and hilarious exploration of a struggling dwarf actor's refusal to accept the status quo. To say that Herman (Aaron Beelner) is dissatisfied with would be an understatement of epic proportions. Unfulfilled working at his half brother's restaurant and unhappy with the typecast arc of his acting career, he is ready for something different. When Herman hears about an audition for the Mayor of Munchkinland in Martin Scorsese's big budget remake of The Wizard of Oz, his best friend (Kay Cannon, Writer of Pitch Perfect, 30 Rock) urges him to use the opportunity to transcend his inherent limitations and aim just a little bit higher. As life begins to imitate art, Herman and his crew of misfits find themselves on a humor-filled journey of self-discovery that delivers big laughs and even bigger insights into the lengths we'll go for the things that we love. Making his directorial debut, Matthew Perkins delivers a rare thing, indeed: a truly funny, often touching indie comedy.

Plot: We may keep living our lives like nothing happened but sometimes it's good to stop and reflect on how we really feel, and maybe do something about it... In my opinion the true beauty lives with our everyday life and what penetrates from between the lines. This is a film about human relationship, about being able do deal with a difficult and complex situation that in most cases is impossible to escape. The film is also about the need to leave the demon behind in order to move forward and live your life. There is a seemingly simple little story that during the drama expands and evolves into something larger and more vital.

Plot: High up in Actors' Heaven---where those actors who have taken their final curtain on earth still maintain a lively interest in theatrical activity---there is a bell which has been named Minnie. When a struggling young actor on Broadway has sufficient faith in himself---if he believes strongly enough in his ability and talent---then Minnie rings out clearly, signaling that the time is right for an angel to leave Actors' Heaven and go down to earth to help a worthy, but-as-yet-successful actor or actress. When versatile, young Karen James refuses to be discouraged by her rejection by producer Rodney Lloyd, Minnie rings out loudly and clearly. Phineas Aloysius Higby, who was a magician before he was called to Actor's Heaven, begs to be allowed to go earthward to help Karen and is finally assigned the job. Phineas rents a room in the theatrical boarding house run by Madam Della, an ex-prima donna who has never gotten over it. Karen also lives there, as well as David Randall, a young artist. David conceals his love for Karen because he believes she loves Paul Blake, an advertising writer who pretends, for Karen's sake, that he has playwriting ambitions. Phineas befriends Karen and David and accompanies them to another audition for Rodney Lloyd, who rejects Karen again but is entranced by Phineas' magic and tries to sign him up. Phineas consults Sir Henry Bushnell, head man of Actors' Heaven, and secures his permission to pretend to be a producer in order to encourage Karen. Phineas then promises to produce a show to be written by Paul (who can't write)and to star Karen and her friends, Tiny , Rosie, Susie , Kay , Barbara, and others, all theatrically ambitious, talented kids now working in a department store. David dreams up several production numbers, and even Madam Della's maid, Theresa, who also sings in a night club, and her accompanist and agent, Cliff , join in with a hot number of their own. But complications arise and, before long, Phineas has created many problems and soon has Minnie the Bell ringing constantly and boisterously.
