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.
Shame
Brandon, a thirty-something man living in New York, eludes intimacy with women but feeds his deepest desires with a compulsive addiction to sex. When his younger sister temporarily moves into his apartment, stirring up bitter memories of their shared painful past, Brandon's life, like his fragile mind, gets out of control.
