Say It In Russian
Rain, Rain
Food Fight
Imperia Entertainment, Inc., Say It in Russian, feature film. Andrew meets a young Russian girl, Daria, while on vacation in Europe. He goes to Moscow, where he meets Daria’s father, a rich Russian oligarch, and becomes entwined with his situation, which places the young lovers in grave danger. Great movies are all about storytelling, and this film excels in that regard. It is an audience pleaser. LINK
Ignatius Ignited Entertainment, Rain Rain, short film. Trapped inside on a rainy day, a young girl discovers a family secret which unleashes her devilish imagination upon her house. This is an eleven minute fantasy/comedy; a simple story of a smart but ignored little girl. It is a hypnotic blend of character development and light-hearted action. It is such fun to watch and brings out mischievous child in all of us. LINK
Positively 25th Street, Food Fight, feature documentary, is a fascinating look at how American agricultural policy and food culture developed in the 20th century, and how the California food movement rebelled against big agribusiness. This carefully crafted documentary is brilliant in delivering an important social statement without being preachy. It is a shot fired across the bow of agribusiness and government policy. LINK
