SYNOPSIS:Slay Normalcy, Save the World. MONSTER CAMP is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the world of live-action role playing ("LARPing"), a real-life version of the videogame phenomenon World of Warcraft. In this award-winning doc, gamer stereotypes are simultaneously shattered and confirmed. For 48 consecutive hours-- there are no breaks, not even for sleep -- immerse yourself in a world completely unlike our own. A world built upon fantasy, chivalry, and imagination; a place where you can be anything, dress however, have almost any power. A world where software engineers, department store managers, and high school students live as warriors, sorcerers, and villains. It’s a place that lets you transform yourself, perhaps becoming the person you wish you really were. Welcome to MONSTER CAMP, the true story of NERO Seattle, one of over 60 LARPing franchises with thousands upon thousands of members (belonging to either NERO International or Alliance LARP) in North America.

SYNOPSIS:For many Americans, winning the lottery represents the ultimate dream come true.  Rags to riches stories and their sordid flip side - tales of millions wasted by undisciplined winners - are common fodder for tabloids and TV news, but the public is rarely allowed more than a superficial glimpse into the world of instant, unexpected wealth. Millions (a lottery story) follows the lives of six different big money winners to show in detail just how dramatically a life-changing experience can deeply affect ordinary people, and provides portraits of life in very different Americas. From the farms of the Midwest and the heart of the Bible belt to the hurricane riddled retirement communities of South Florida, Millions documents the true stories of people as rich in personality as they are - or once were - in material wealth, and tells a poignant story of luck, loss and redemption.

SYNOPSIS:Needing money to send her documentary, Feminism for Dummies, to the Cannes Film Festival, struggling feminist filmmaker Gillian Black gets a technical job on an indie film. But the "art house" production turns out to be a porn flick: an X-rated adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest! When the director quits, a desperate Gillian agrees to replace him behind the camera in exchange for her finishing funds. Over a hectic weekend, she secretly researches porn movies and by Monday, she has transmuted schlock into art - or at least high class porn! Her husband Hugh, however, is convinced that Gillian's surreptitious activities are evidence of an extra-marital affair and he decides to see for himself what his wife is up to. Hugh is in for some surprises...
