TRAILER
Think of the hard-boiled world of film noir: the world of Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade, a world of femme fatales, a world of shadows. Now imagine this world populated with characters from tragic Russian novels like those by Dostoevsky: tormented figures suffering through harsh circumstance. This unique world provides the foundation for the dark and vivid dreamscape of “The Perfect Sleep”.
In a timeless city, a man with no name returns to the violent, brutal domain of assassins he left ten years before – back when they dubbed him The Mad Monk for his disregard for his own life and his intense devotion to one woman, Porphyria; a beautiful, luminescent woman; the girl he grew up with; the love of his life; the one thing he has ever wanted; the one thing he can never have.
There is no discernible reason for him to come back to this ruthless city, save one. She still lives here, she is in danger, and he – a man gifted in the art of killing – may be the only one who can save her. Waiting for him are deadly men who would like nothing more than to see him die a painful death. Standing at their forefront is the formidable Nikolai, the man who raised him and just might be his father.
To protect Porphyria, this unnamed man will return to a life of torment and torture. He will face off against the father figure he turned his back on so many years ago. He will revisit this existence full of people imprisoned by their desire, their history, and their very blood; a world where the only thing keeping you from happiness is yourself, the world of The Perfect Sleep.

TRAILER
When we meet Bob Funk, he isn’t much of a role model for the upwardly mobile Generation X or anyone for that matter –For starters, he is laudably outspoken, crass and seemingly reprehensible. With serious ex-wife and family issues, he has no idea how to be sober and human in his own skin. As a result, Bob has become acerbic yet irreverently charming with just about everybody he runs into.
To get through the day, Bob drinks exorbitantly, lives one ‘one night stand’ to the next, slacks through work, disobeys orders and is barely tolerated by those who know him. And he just doesn’t give a damn.
Bob’s life takes a turn however when an attractive young executive (Rachel Leigh Cook) joins the family company run by his mother, and becomes the object of his affection. Can the lovely Miss Thorne see past this cad to true love?
Mom has had it and it isn’t long before Bob is fired from his lofty executive position for his sexist and politically incorrect behavior toward the lovely new executive. To add insult to injury, his mother insists that the only way he can regain his job is if Bob sees a female psychiatrist, reports to a female boss (Ms. Thorne) and quits drinking. If he agrees to these terms, he can stay in the family business – as the office janitor.
The series of career and personal setbacks brought on by his own hubris puts Bob’s life into perspective and slowly, Bob begins to realize there is more to life than sex and booze. Eventually, he becomes motivated to straighten his life out once and for all. But this is Bob Funk. Can he actually make friends, be polite and treat women with respect -- all while remaining sober and holding down a steady job? With Bob Funk, anything is possible, even true love!

TRAILER
Claire Norris, a young waitress in a small-town diner, sat on a jury, along with eleven others and listened to the evidence against a man accused of a crime against a minor. After days of difficult deliberation, the man - Leonard Karlsson, Jr. - was found guilty.
In prison, the “unspoken rule” regarding such crimes was enforced - Karlsson was beaten by the other prisoners to within an inch of his life, his face severely disfigured as a result. Now out of prison, Karlsson returns to the town that held his trial. Still severely scarred and barely recognizable, he conceals his wounds…and his identity.
In one horrifying night, he once again faces the twelve jurors who decided his fate.
This time, however, he decides theirs…
