Incriminando a John DeLorean
Director of Photography
Genio. Fracasado. Salvador. Mentiroso. John DeLorean era un inconformista que desafió a la industria para crear la DeLorean Motor Company, que estuvo repleto de desastres desde el principio. En un intento por mantener a flote su estilo de vida, se vio envuelto en una operación encubierta del FBI y le pillaron con las manos en la masa, intercambiando millones por el transporte de cocaína. Esta es la verdadera historia de la codicia y la ambición sin fin tras el vehículo que se convertiría en uno de los artículos de culto más grandes de los años ochenta. Alec Baldwin le da vida a DeLorean en estas recreaciones, junto a unas entrevistas con compañeros, empleados, abogados, amigos y familiares que lo conocían mejor, ya que todos intentan descubrir al hombre detrás del automóvil.

November 8th
Director
In the hours leading up to Donald Trump’s unexpected victory on Election Day 2016, a cross-section of Americans go about their radically different lives: in Washington DC, Hillary Clinton’s Director of Video giddily anticipates a clean victory; in Massachusetts, a married couple who own a small business spar over how quickly Trump would be able to make America great again; in Utah, a Mormon mother canvases for a third party candidate; in West Virginia, a coal miner worries that the election could lead to the loss of his industry; in San Jose, a Mexican American “Dreamer” worries that the election could lead to deportation; in Alabama, a recently exonerated death row inmate celebrates his first time voting in over 30 years; and in Philadelphia, NPR’s Dave Davies follows the news of the day as it unfolds. As the country braces itself for a surprising turn of events, what emerges is a portrait of American democracy in all its chaotic glory.

Slow Learners
Director
High school guidance counselor Jeff and his platonic friend and co-worker Anne are responsible, well intentioned, kind… and boring. They frustratingly watch on as their peers find love and companionship, while they continue to fail in spectacular fashion when it comes to romance. As they reach their loneliness breaking point, they make a pact to forgo their familiar, vanilla personas in exchange for their unexplored, confident alter egos. They wave goodbye to Jeff’s awkward all-male book club and Anne’s flailing attempts to catch the eye of Jeff’s sexy neighbor Max, and say hello to raucous summer nights filled with booze, dancing, and sex. Naturally things don’t exactly go according to plan.
