ADULT SITUATIONS

Directed by Jay Fischer

Adult Situations follows a documentary crew on the set of the newest adult video from Vivacious Studios. The movie marks the return of legendary Vivacious Exclusive, Angel Divine. It also features the debut of the young starlet Raquel who is destined for porn super stardom. Along the way it becomes clear that beneath the glitz and glamor lay many sobering truths. The documentary shoot proves to be a hilarious and surprisingly poignant first-hand look at the inner-workings of the adult film industry.

THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKEN

Directed by Jeremy Pack   Stars Andrew Bowen (MAD TV, Butterfly Dreaming) and Daniel Goddard (The Young & the Restless). Bowen plays Ronnie, who takes on the persona of one of his favorite movie actors whenever his heart gets broken. Recently, after a particularly bad break-up, Ronnie went into a deep state of Christopher Walken. Ronnie’s brother, Benny (Goddard), has always been the one to snap him out of these “episodes”. Unfortunately, this time Ronnie has committed himself to a mental institution. When Benny meets a damsel in distress, Melanie Hawkins (Wedding Crashers, Eleventh Hour), in the hospital waiting room, he hatches an idea to try to save his brother and win the damsel’s heart.
