Synopsis

Above the Line

Six struggling Hollywood hopefuls team up for the ultimate comeback: to rob the Academy Awards from the crooked producer who crushed their dreams. But in a town built on make-believe, pulling off the perfect heist might just be the role of their lives.

Dangerous Minds

Former Marine Louanne Johnson lands a gig teaching in a pilot program for bright but underachieving teens at a notorious inner-city high school. After having a terrible first day, she decides she must throw decorum to the wind. When Johnson returns to the classroom, she does so armed with a no-nonsense attitude informed by her military training and a fearless determination to better the lives of her students -- no matter what the cost.
