"House of Fears"

Six friends sneak into a haunted house the night before it opens for Halloween, only to find that their evening of fun has turned into their worst nightmare.

*****************************************************************************************

"Destiny's Calling"

DeWall - Born in Liberia (West Africa), a versatile vocalist with an original sound reminiscent of Seal or Sting currently residing in Los Angeles. This phenomenal singer/songwriter Dewall has been involved in music worldwide. With his angelic voice he has the power to affect the heart and soul with his gift. However, he has not neglected his responsibility to deliver the message of positivity and hope. "Destiny's Calling" his latest hit single has the power to uplift and bring the world together.

******************************************************************************************

"Spirit Space"

Allow yourself to travel even further down the quantum Rabbit Hole in a quest for answers to age old questions. Discover remarkable possibilities as to what and how our consciousness works with the world around us. Listen to possibilities of what happens to our consciousness before and after death. Challenging Quantum physics theories and how they affect how we perceive the world anciently and today, both spiritually and scientifically. This film acts as a progressive “travel log” for human Life attempting to answer questions that mankind has been seeking since the dawn of thought. What were we before we came here? Why do we need to be here? What happens after we die?

Spirit Space also opens cases from individuals who have been hypnotically regressed to a point between lives-after death, and even before birth. Not only does the film grapple with reincarnation, the spirit world, and the nature of the human soul it also tackles equally sticky questions such as “Is there a Heaven and Hell?” and ”What is a spirit?”. Viewers with a penchant for skepticism will balk at the lack of physical evidence to back up the claims in Spirit Space, but the film remains a reassuring voice, affirming that our existence is not limited to the boundaries of our mortal flesh.

"Jakob and the Angels"

Jakob and the Angels is a short fantasy film about a man who hires an exterminator to expel a flock of noisy angels from his attic. Amidst the ensuing mini-Armageddon, he begins to realize they're the only companionship he's got in life. It's based on a short story by Audrey Niffenegger, who is also the author of the best-selling novel, "The Time Traveler's Wife," now in development as a feature film with New Line Cinema.

******************************************************************************************
"Alien Secrets"

A clever send up of the UFO genre based on Brandon Scott's real life escapades as he explores the UFO subculture with a biting edge and wit. Brandon plays a parody of himself, which takes us on a wild ride that at times seems like a cross between X-Files and Spinal Tap. Follow Brandon as he cleverly navigates his way through the world of Hollywood Celebrities, UFO Abductees and Alien/Human Hybrids while dogging a shadow government agent bent on stopping his findings. This offbeat and quirky sci-fi hybrid film is sprinkled with real icons from the UFO community and actual people claiming to be abductees and alien/human hybrids. With over twenty original songs, real UFO footage and daring subject matter, this provocative film is sure to be a cult sensation.

******************************************************************************************

SPENT! is a touching drama that will take you on Cheryl Johnson’s breathtaking journey. Pretty, poised, articulate and fashionable, Cheryl (Tracey Costello) seems to have it all, but she also holds a secret. Cheryl has fallen prey to the American Girl “Shop ‘till you drop” syndrome. She is consumed by consumption. Her co-workers have no idea that Cheryl has a shopping problem, which has quickly gotten out of hand.

It's 1981 and thoughtful, introverted, 12-year-old Margaret (Maggie) feels invisible sandwiched between the restless limbs of her eight, high-spirited siblings as they drive across the southern California desert in the family's aging Pontiac wagon.

Out of desperation, Maggie escapes her loneliness and the chaotic world of her family by entering the strangely beautiful world she sees through the viewfinder of her snap-n-shoot, plastic camera. However, she doesn't trust that what she sees is worthy of expressing, and as a result she never snaps a picture.

When the family stops at a rundown gas station in the middle of nowhere, Maggie's fear of being invisible is confirmed when she is accidentally left behind. It is up to Maggie to decide whether the young girl who was left will be the same person who leaves.
