Linsanity offers lots for b-ball fans, but also has a higher purpose.

A little game footage can go a long way; and a lot of game footage, no matter how good, goes a very long way.
Peter Rainer
As a piece of filmmaking, Linsanity is scattershot and too reliant on newsreels. And the interviews, most of all with the religiously devout Lin are, alas, fairly unrevealing.

You may have watched Lin's rise to national prominence the first time, but it's still easy to get caught up in the moment.

It reveals how each developed his unique sound and style of playing favorite instruments, guitars both found and invented. Concentrating on the artist's musical rebellion, traveling with him to influential locations, provoking rare discussion as to how and why he writes and plays, this film lets you witness intimate moments and hear new music from each artist. The movie revolves around a day when Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge first met and sat down together to share their stories, teach and play. 2009 Steel Curtain Pictures, LLC.

No No: A Dockumentary
NO NO: A DOCKUMENTARY tells the story of Dock Ellis who, on June 12, 1970, pitched a no-hitter for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 137 years of organized professional baseball, it’s the only no-hitter tossed while the pitcher was on LSD. Dock was often embroiled in controversy on and off the field. While professional baseball hadn’t fully embraced racial equality, he was an outspoken leader who lived the expression ‘Black is Beautiful!’ His fearlessness enabled him to become one of the most intimidating pitchers of the 70’s and a trailblazer for a new wave of civil rights. After retiring, Dock became as outspoken about his career-spanning substance abuse issues as he had been about intolerance. He spent decades utilizing his brash approach as a counselor, helping other addicts in their recoveries. Through intimate stories and a trove of archival footage, NO NO: A DOCKUMENTARY brings Dock’s vibrant life to light, burnishing the legend and revealing the man behind it.

Does a screaming engine send chills up your spine? Are you looking for more action and more throttle? Well look no further! We spent an entire year traveling all over the Southeast filming the wildest show in off-road motor-sports. We followed some the most well known drivers in the sport including Time Cameron, Wes Kean, the Tanners, Brian Cole and many more. The film was shot on location at some of the best Off-Road Parks in the South. These include Gray Rock, Morris Moutain, Crusher Ridge, River Rock & Choccolocco ORV. This isn't rock-crawling as it is known out West. This is Southern Style Wheeling. Rock Bouncing is the term used for this full throttle, high speed style of wheeling that has become more and more popular over the years. These are not your typical rock-crawling rigs either these are RockRods. These full tube creations are built to handle the abuse with insane motors, built axles, huge tires, and drivers that refuse to quit. Their make it or break it attitude brings crowds of people to events every weekend.
