Hustlers
Inspired by author Jessica Pressler‘s 2015 cover story “The Hustlers at Scores,” a modern-day Robin Hood story that exposed the true tale of a crew of New York City strippers who, “stole from (mostly) rich, (usually) disgusting men and gave to, well, themselves,” writer-director Lorene Scafaria‘s HUSTLERS has emerged as

Hundreds of Beavers: A Northwoods Christmas!
HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS is a one of a kind indie gem! A charming mix of live action and computer animation (think Buster Keaton meets Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner), this wildly unusual slapstick epic follows a frostbitten battle between Jean Kayak and diabolical beavers – hundreds of them – who
