Killing Georgia Jones
Directed by Andrew Gallerani
Edited by Laura Grody
Thriller/Short
In an abandoned rat-infested warehouse down by the tracks, Georgia Jones awakes, only to find her hands bound tightly above her head. A hooded figure slips from the shadows, approaching his captive victim. Flashing a switchblade, he prepares to strike, but hesitates.
Why?
In this tense clash of wills, motives are questioned, secrets exposed, as both sides vie for power and uncover the truth.

Romantic Comedy
What happens when a white lie spins out of control?
That’s the question when movie super fan and Hollywood tour bus driver, Harold McMurphy (Jeremy Piven) meets beautiful starlet, Amanda Clark (Sherilyn Fenn).
With his deep knowledge of Hollywood history, Amanda mistakenly believes Harold to be a writer. Too embarrassed to tell her the truth, Harold does not correct her. Desperate for advice on a script she’s having doubts about, Amanda asks Harold if he wouldn’t mind reading it and making some notes. Seeing no way out now, Harold agrees. Harold’s life quickly unravels as his once innocent charade drags him deeper into Amanda’s Hollywood life of jealous boyfriends, suspicious agents and glamorous parties. Worse, the two are fast falling for each other. What if she discovers the truth?
