Murder in the Front Row: The San Francisco Bay Area Thrash Metal Story
Story Editor
Se podemos dizer que o thrash metal tem um berço, sem dúvida será a região de San Francisco Bay Area. Metallica, Megadeth, Exodus, Anthrax, Testament e Slayer saíram de suas garagens para tomar o mundo com guitarras rascantes, riffs complexos e letras politizadas herdadas do punk. Uma história que passou a se repetir ao redor do mundo, onde adolescentes de bairro se juntam para fazer um som rápido, pesado e ameaçador. Mas, no final, o que realmente importa é a amizade.

Who Is Bernard Tapie?
Co-Producer
This documentary tells two stories simultaneously: it's a profile of Bernard Tapie, a wealthy man who rises and falls spectacularly in French society and may be on the rise again; and, it's a look at Marina Zenovich's fascination with Tapie, behaving oddly in spite of her awareness that she's being irrational. Politicians, athletes, friends, companions, and journalists comment on Bernard's charm, his rise to prominence in sports and politics, and his subsequent trouble with the law. Zenovich becomes fixated on her need to interview Tapie, becoming virtually a stalker in her quest.

O objetivo é entregá-la a Ellington (Forest Whitaker), um perigoso comerciante de arte do mercado negro, mas existe a suspeita que a peça não embarcou no navio. Ellington, inconformado, lhes dá um ultimato: US$ 1 milhão no lugar da peça perdida ou então eles vão morrer. Logo Felix aparece morto e os quatro ladrões amadores se vêem sem saída. Assim fazem seguros de vida de US$ 1 milhão para cada um e criam as regras de uma loteria, na qual um morrerá para que os outros sobrevivam. Porém ninguém sabe quem é o assassino (exceto o próprio) e logo a desconfiança toma conta do grupo.
