*Plot summary: *Andrew meets a young Russian girl, Daria, while on vacation
in Europe and falls in love. He goes to Moscow, where he meets Daria's
father, a rich Russian mafia oligarch, and becomes entwined with his
situation, which places them both in grave danger.*
Synopsis: *
Andrew Lambert, a successful American divorce attorney, travels to Paris for
business, where he's introduced to Daria Larina, a beautiful and enigmatic
Russian woman, by the lovely Jacqueline De Rossy. Head over heels from
virtually the minute he sees her, Andrew pursues her with intensity, aware
that Daria has trust issues. Charming and a bit relentless in his amorous
dance with Daria, Andrew succeeds in winning her heart, but a greater
challenge awaits when he accompanies Daria to her father's wedding in
Russia. Raf Larin, Daria's father, is a powerful Russian official, being
pressured by associates of his former comrade in arms, Oleg Razhin, a
criminal mastermind, once a friend of Raf's, who spent the last 7 years in
prison. Razhin's men on the outside kidnap Daria, part of a maneuver to
force Raf to obtain him a pardon and release him from prison. Andrew is
horrified when Daria is kidnapped, part of a maneuver to put Raf to the
screws. At the same time, Raf arranges the release, and meets Razhin in
prison, convincing him to set Daria free. However, after he is released,
Razhin is gunned down by unknown assassins. Willing to risk his life to
rescue Daria, Andrew works independently of Raf to break open the circle of
kidnappers and set Daria free.

*2/** **All That I Need*
*Genre:* Comedy/Drama
*Status: Completed*
*US Distribution: ** yes*
*Style:* Cinema Verite
*Running Time:* 80 Minutes
*Rating: *R for language and some sexual content*
Synopsis:* In "All That I Need," a group of people start a money pyramid
scheme, fashioned after the "Muffin Club" scheme. The camera acts as a fly
on the wall, and captures all of the hype at their meetings, the money the
first few winners start to make, and all of the phony relationships that
arise out of the meetings. As jealousy and greed enter the picture, and the
scheme begins to unwind, we see how the players turn on each other and the
negative effects the scheme has on their lives. The film has a very strong
moral message, as well as a "surprise ending."

*L.O.C*. (Land of Canaan) is a psychological horror/thriller, set in a
lonely ghost town (Goldfield Nevada) a town that holds a terrifying secret.
At the turn of the 20th century, Goldfield, Nevada was the playground for
the rich and famous. To many, it was the Promised Land, the Land of Canaan,
a world where dreams and nightmares could come true.
*Synopsis: *After a bloody armored car robbery Ray Fitchler and Sal Moretti,
escape with their cash, but run into trouble at a police roadblock. Ray is
left for dead and Sal takes off with the money making his way to Goldfield
and to the Goldfield Hotel, where he stashes the money, but once there
unearthly forces take over and plug into Sal's fears, driving him insane and
eventually into the arms of the police. In prison Sal passes a bible
filled with clues to the hidden money to our hero Jeff Larkin who was
serving time for involuntary manslaughter of his abusive father as he tried
to defend his mother. Upon leaving prison, Jeff meets up with his little
brother and convinces him that fortune and glory will soon be theirs.
Following clues and a map drawn inside the Bible, as they follow the clues
they end up saving Amy, a young prostitute, from an abusive john. Amy
proves to be a valuable resource. A former preacher's daughter, she helps
them interpret the enigmatic clues left behind by Sal that lead them down
the road to the small town of Goldfield… and its mysterious hotel. In their
search for the money, our heroes encounter the mysterious forces and spirits
of the hotel, and the vengeful ghost of Elizabeth. They also discovers our
old buddy Ray, is still alive. He survived being shot after the robbery and
has been living in the hotel ever since, looking for his money, the hotel's
demonic forces slowly driving him insane. A battle ensues between Ray and
our heroes in which they barely survive. But now the real horror begins, as
the Hotel seems to vibrate with evil and seals them in. Elizabeth won't let
them leave. She confronts them in the lobby, taking on the form of Jeff and
Marty's abusive father, Dan Larkin. She brutally attacks them and is about
to kill them when the beneficent spirit of their mother Bonnie shows up. She
