Welcome To Harlem
Music
4
Welcome to Harlem is an award winning musical comedy film written, directed, produced, drawn, choreographed and designed entirely by artists living in Harlem, NYC. Reminiscent of great musicals such as Rent & Avenue Q, WTH embodies the spirit and community of artists living on 151st Street. Using its unique sense of humor, the film keeps audiences on the edge of their seats and laughing for hours!
Marty Blackstein, a young man of the new 20-something generation, after realizing that most of Manhattan today seems to be less about art and culture and more about money and corruption (and realizing that he can no longer afford this realization) decides to take a chance and move uptown to Harlem, NYC. Once there, he finds a sea of friendship, love and adventure enveloped in music, dance, grit and one of the most unique neighborhoods (and even more unique blocks) on the planet, and quickly learns that Harlem is not quite what he expected...

Jasmine (Kathryn McComick) is the star of the wealthy Diamond Dance. She wins titles while dealing with the demands of her crazy “dance mom” Jo-Ann (Finola Hughes). The studio’s rivals are the inner-city powerhouse, Shockwave Studios, led by Brandon (Shane Harper.) But Brandon and Jasmine have a history; they are former duet partners. When circumstances forced them apart, Jasmine was heartbroken. Years later, when they encounter each other as competitors, neither can deny their childhood feelings are still there. Unfortunately, Jo-Ann sees Brandon as the enemy and will stop at nothing to assure her daughter wins the championship. Everything comes to a head when competition owner Mary (Carolyn Hennesy) and her son JT (David Burtka) announce the first ever National Nationals; the two dancers picked to compete are Brandon and Jasmine. Can Brandon win enough money to save his studio? Or will Jasmine win and finally break free? Can you fall in love with the competition?
Bryan Kellen: Ballet Komedico
Comedy

The hysterical, insanely high paced and dynamically engaging new comedy special from the rubber-bodied comedian, Bryan Kellen. Kellen's incredible physicality, along with his goofy demeanor and impeccable timing make him perhaps the best physical comedian since Jim Carey and his feverish mix of storytelling, observational humor, and physical comedy make Ballet Komedico one of the most universally captivating comedy shows to date.
Ian Harris: Critical & Thinking
Comedy
4
The incredibly smart and irreverent new comedy special from the brilliantly skeptical mind of Ian Harris. Armed with a wide array of characters, razor like wit and critical thinking skills, Ian skewers commonly held beliefs, taking aim at such topics as Religion, Ghosts, The Paranormal, Comforting Notions, Astrology, Pop-Mysticism, Alternative Medicine, Racism and Apocalyptic Claims. It is easy to see why Ian immediately elicits comparisons to George Carlin and Bill Maher.
Adult World
In this satirical, sharp-edged comedy, Amy (Emma Roberts) is a naive, awkward aspiring poet in a post-grad existence that is going nowhere. Living with her parents in a bland upstate New York town, certain of her yet-to-be-acknowledged literary greatness and desperate for income, she begrudgingly accepts a job at Adult World, the local sex shop owned by a frisky elderly couple (including a wonderful Cloris Leachman) and staffed by diva transvestite Rubio and adorable local boy Alex. Amy balances her work amongst the pornography and sex toys by fiercely pursuing a surefire kick start for her success: a mentorship with reclusive, crusty and alcoholic writer Rat Billings, played by a bitterly funny John Cusack.
Spring Breakers
From visionary director Harmony Korine comes a bold new vision of the seasonal American ritual known as spring break — the bacchanalia of bikinis, beach parties and beer bongs that attracts hordes of college students each year. Brit (Ashley Benson), Faith (Selena Gomez), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens) and Cotty (Rachel Korine) are best friends anxious to cut loose on their own spring break adventure, but they lack sufficient funds. After holding up a restaurant for quick cash, the girls head to the shore in a stolen car for what they discover is the party of a lifetime. They're thrown in jail — but quickly bailed out by Alien (James Franco), a local rapper, drug pusher and arms dealer who lures them into a criminal underbelly that's as lurid as it is liberating for a close-knit gang of girlfriends who are still figuring out their path. With a hallucinatory musical score by Cliff Martinez (DRIVE) and Skrillex, SPRING BREAKERS is an electrifying pop poem to girls gone wild. Harmony Korine unleashes a ferocious, feverish and furiously alive youth quake examining the sensory overload of a new generation of restless youth.
Songs for Amy
Comedy

‘Songs for Amy’ is a darkly comedic love story, set in the west of Ireland and New York, about a musician, Sean O’Malley (Sean Maguire), who writes an album for Amy, the girl he loves (Lorna Anderson), in an attempt to redeem himself. The album takes him on a roller-coaster journey where he is both helped and hindered by his misfit bandmates. Directed by BAFTA and EMMY-nominated Konrad Begg, ‘Songs for Amy’ has a terrific ensemble cast. The film stars Sean Maguire (LA Blues) in a breakthrough role and Lorna Anderson (Mausam). They are joined by the bandmates Barry Ward (Silent Witness), Ross Mac Mahon and Ford Kiernan (Still Game, Gangs of New York). Kevin Ryan (RAW, Copper) plays the pop icon, JJ. The film also features Gavin Mitchell (You Instead), James Cosmo (Braveheart, Game of Thrones) and Patrick Bergin (Sleeping with the Enemy). Rock band Alabama 3 play themselves and are instrumental in leading Sean astray and eventually completely off track. The story, written by Fiona Graham, was inspired by the music scene of the west of Ireland. The film follows, largely in flashback, the joy and heartache behind Sean’s songs and the events that led him to write them. His bandmates provide the comedic backdrop to Sean’s darkest hours, and in true Celtic style, their humour is at its best when the chips are down. Set against the stunning backdrop of the west of Ireland, Galway is a character itself in the film, from the colourful and vibrant streets of Galway city, to the pretty harbours and painted pubs of the county, to the stunning Lough Cutra Castle, against the barren but romantic landscape of The Burren. These magical locations are contrasted with the bright lights of New York City when the story crosses the Atlantic. ‘Songs for Amy’ has been dubbed ‘the musician’s film’ due to its authentic portrayal of the eclectic music scene of Ireland and because of the incredible original soundtrack with songs by Ultan Conlon and Jim Mckee, rock band Alabama 3, Patrick Bergin, and Irish folk singer Eleanor Shanley, as well as music from Tom Paxton and Jono McCleery. Produced by Sonny and Skye Productions and Seafaring films, ‘Songs for Amy’ is a film about the story behind a musician’s songs, about love, friendship, loss and regret and ultimately about hope.
Superhero Movie

More importantly, will we stop laughing long enough to notice?
