Nuanced performances by the non-professional cast and a haunting soundtrack help fill in the deliberate narrative gaps.

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?

For hundreds of years guitars have been made the same way but now this could all change. Musicwood is an adventure-filled journey, a political thriller with music at its heart. An unusual band of the most famous guitar-makers in the world travel together into the heart of one of the most primeval rainforests on the planet. Their mission: to negotiate with Native American loggers and change the way this forest is logged before it's too late. A modern twist on a classic story; Musicwood is an urgent battle between the white man and Native Americans.
Festival Express
Music
4
In the summer of 1970, some of the era's biggest rock stars took to the rails for Festival Express, a multi-artist, multi-city concert tour that captured the spirit and imagination of a generation. What made it unique was that it was portable; for five days, the bands and performers lived, slept, rehearsed and let loose aboard a customized train that traveled from Toronto, to Winnipeg, to Calgary, with each stop culminating in a mega-concert. The entire experience was filmed both off-stage and on, but the extensive footage and sound tapes of the events remained locked away for decades, only recently having been rediscovered and restored. The film Festival Express is a momentous achievement in rock film archaeology which combines the long-lost material with contemporary interviews that add important context to the event nearly 35 years after originally being filmed.
