Forget about German beer, world-famous museums and cute French girls-James' summer will now be populated by belligerent dads, stuffed pandas, and screaming kids high on cotton candy.

[/SIZE][/FONT] Studio: Roadside Attractions
Director: R.W. Goodwin
Screenwriter: James Swift, Steven Fisher
Starring: Eric McCormack, Jenni Baird, Dan Lauria, Robert Patrick, Jody Thompson, Aaron Brooks, Sarah Smyth, Andrew Dunbar, Sage Brocklebank, Tom McBeath, Vincent Gale, Jerry Wasserman, Jonathan Young, Michael Roberds
Genre: Adventure, Comedy, Sci-Fi, Thriller
MPAA Rating: PG (for sci-fi action and brief historical smoking)
Official Website: AlienTrespass.com
Plot Summary: "Alien Trespass" is an exciting and entertaining homage to the great science-fiction movies of the 1950s, the post-war boom period when the country was filled with great hope and prosperity and, at the same time, lived under the threat of nuclear annihilation.
The story begins in 1957 in the star-filled skies above California's Mojave Desert. It is a special night for noted astronomer Ted Lewis (Eric McCormack), who is preparing a special dinner for his beautiful, adoring wife Lana (Jody Thompson) to celebrate their wedding anniversary. In another part of town, Tammy (Jenni Baird), a waitress at small local diner with big plans for the future, looks out her window and is excited to see a shooting star, which she takes as a good sign for her dreams.
But, what Dr. Lewis and Tammy assume is a shooting star, is really an alien spaceship. The fiery ball hurtles toward earth and crash-lands on a butte in the desert. The only witnesses are teens Dick (Andrew Dunbar) and Penny (Sarah Smyth) who are necking in a nearby lover's lane.
A tall, metallic alien named Urp emerges from the craft unharmed, alarmed to discover that the monstrous Ghota, who was also on board, has escaped. The menacing one-eyed creature's unquenchable appetite could mean the end of civilization as we know it.
Urp is the only one who knows how to stop the hideous extra-terrestrial, but to do so he has to take over the body of Dr. Lewis and enlist the aid of Tammy, the only human in town willing to believe and trust in his mission. The local police--including Chief Dawson (Dan Lauria) and Officer Vern (Robert Patrick)--are confirmed skeptics and offer little help. Together, Urp and Tammy must hunt down the Ghota and neutralize it before it consumes all the local inhabitants and uses the human fuel to multiply and conquer the world!
"Alien Trespass," a thrilling sci-fi adventure from three-time Golden Globe winner and five time Emmy Award-nominee director/producer R.W. Goodwin ("The X-Files") and brought to you in glorious color!

Director: Brian Hecker
Screenwriter: Brian Hecker
Starring: William H. Macy, Cheryl Hines, Steven Kaplan, Alia Shawkat, Ashley Benson
Genre: Comedy
MPAA Rating: PG-13 (Rated on Appeal for sexual content, thematic elements and brief strong language)
Plot Summary: Nerdy high school senior Danny (newcomer Steven Kaplan) has spent six hundred bucks on the hotel room, the limo and the tux for his prom. He's only missing one thing—the girl. Hampered by well-intentioned but clueless advice from his newly-divorced parents (William H. Macy, Cheryl Hines) and unsympathetic mocking from his best friends (Brandon Hardesty, Alia Shawkat), Danny battles peer pressure, teen angst and his own raging hormones as he desperately searches for a prom date. "What other evening in your life is as big? Maybe your wedding night, but odds are that's gonna end in divorce anyway," muses Danny's friend Craig as the two pals lounge poolside in the decidedly unhip retirement community town they call home. Danny's luckless quest turns to panic when he learns that even Bart—the school's biggest dweeb—has secured not only a date, but also a hotel room for the night.
Written and directed by South Florida native, Brian Hecker, the offbeat comedy perfectly captures the quirky nuances of Miami suburbia while depicting the comically painful journey of adolescence.

But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanuever him.

Plot Summary: "Sugar" follows the story of Miguel Santos, a.k.a.

Starring: Norma Khouri, Malcolm Knox, Rana Husseini, Caroline Overington
Genre: Documentary
Official Website: ForbiddenLies.com.au
Plot Summary: In July 2004, Norma Khouri, best-selling author of “Forbidden Love” (US title "Honor Lost: Love and Death in Modern-Day Jordan"), was exposed as a fake. In Australia, she’d won fame and fortune as a Jordanian virgin on the run from Islamic extremists who’d put a Fatwah on her head for her campaign against honor killings. But she was really Norma Bagain, a Chicago real estate agent and mother of two, on the run from the FBI for one million dollars of fraud.
When director Anna Broinowski read Malcolm Knox’s Sydney Morning Herald article exposing Norma Khouri as a hoax, she knew she’d found the subject for her next documentary. “I wanted to know what kind of woman could be so brilliant that while on the run from the FBI she could reinvent herself as a Jordanian virgin with a Fatwah on her head, write a best-seller, and convince the best publishing and media minds in the world that she was telling the truth.”
