Caffeine
Studio: Meurer Productions, Steaming Hot Coffee, LLC
Director: John Cosgrove
Screenwriter: Dean Craig
Starring: Mena Suvari, Breckin Meyer, Marsha Thomason, Katherine Heigl, Mike Vogel
Genre: Comedy
Plot Summary: There's always something strange brewing at the Black Cat Café.
A neurotic young commitment-phobe runs into his ex-girlfriend while he's whacked out on killer dope; a high strung control freak finds out that her husband-to-be is a transvestite; a hyper-possessive boyfriend discovers that his girlfriend is an ex-porn actress; and the manager’s boyfriend has a ménage a trois which he says is forgivable because the girls were identical twins.
"Caffeine" is an eccentric comedy about these characters' hapless attempts to repair their fractured relationships as they confront issues of fidelity, betrayal, forgiveness, and commitment. Du ring one lunchtime at this offbeat London coffee house, the relationships of the quirky staff and several couples are suddenly turned upside down by the sudden revelations of supremely embarrassing secrets and idiosyncrasies, generally having to do with their rampaging sexual appetites.

Newlyweds Jamie (Kwanten) and Lisa Ashen have established a new life for themselves far from their hometown of Ravens Fair--a sleepy, near-forgotten blip on the map haunted by late-night whispers and ghost stories from generations past.

Once back under his family's roof, reunited with his ill father (Gunton) and his father's new young bride (Valletta), Jamie begins to explore the creepy town and encounters the legend of Mary Shaw, a famous murdered ventriloquist whose presence still casts a pall over Ravens Fair. Himself the lead suspect in his wife's murder, Jamie is forced to dig deep into the town's bloody past for answers, where he soon uncovers the truth behind the curse that ended Lisa's life...and threatens to take his as well

It's a miracle that threatens to turn this sleepy community upside down.

American Cannibal: The Road to Reality
Studio: Lifesize Entertainment
Director: Perry Grebin, Michael Nigro
Screenwriter: Not Available
Starring: Dave Roberts, Gil S. Ripley, Kevin Blatt, Trishelle Cannatella
Genre: Documentary
Plot Summary: As the title suggests, "American Cannibal" takes the reality television craze to the next provocative level as Dave Roberts and Gil S. Ripley desperately try to get their break on the small screen. The two out of work television writers are hired by the publicity-obsessed promoter Kevin Blatt, the force behind the notorious Paris Hilton sex tape, to create a brutal all-or-nothing reality television show "where survival is just the beginning." Soon, all involved with the production realize that their lust for success is eating at them literally and figuratively.
"American Cannibal" chronicles the journey from a high-concept pitch to its train-wreck production. The entire behind-the-scenes process was documented by the affable duo up to the controversial conclusion when a contestant was critically injured, forcing the production to shut down.
Featuring exclusive on-set access and interviews with industry insiders such as New York Post's Linda Stasi and The Daily Show's Lizz Winstead, as well as a number of reality-TV veterans such as Trishelle Cannatella, "American Cannibal" draws upon our reality and celebrity-obsessed culture to create a hybrid style of storytelling that resonates as both fresh and true. The film blurs the line between fact and fiction and leaves the viewer grappling with the gray area in between to create a style of storytelling never before seen in American cinema.
