_Don of The Dead_ - The former head of an organized crime family enters the witness protection program as a road manager for a legendary 60s band.

_All Reservoir Dogs Go To Heaven_ - In this tense black comedy, an orphaned mutt returns from heaven to earth in order to do a good deed, but is waylaid and ends up taking part in an unsuccessful jewel heist. Top flight acting combined with a kick ass 70’s soundtrack and a total lack of flea collars or neutering makes this one a winner!

_The Stand And Deliver_ - In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a deadly man-made disease, a dark figure seeks to rule all which remains. He’s opposed however, by a good man seeking to teach calculus to the underprivileged few who remain.

_Carrie Nation_ This tale mixes genres as it examines morality set against a backdrop of psychokinetic horror. A young woman urges those around her to be temperate with their vices. When they disregard and then mock her, the tale takes a darker turn as she blows their shit up.
