November 22, 1963. President John F. Kennedy has just been assassinated and Vice President Lyndon Johnson is now President. One of his first acts as President is to reaffirm the US government's intention to pass the Civil Rights Act. This Act was drafted while JFK was in office and gives people of all races the same rights, including voting rights, access to education and access to public facilities. However, he faces strong opposition to the bill, especially from within his own party. He will have to use all his political will and cunning to get it through. Written by grantss

Ex-gang member John Henry is a quiet man with a violent past. When two immigrant kids on the run from his former South Los Angeles gang leader stumble into his life, John is forced to reconcile with his past in order to try and give them a future.

In a world he calls "Desert Gothic Noir," director John Lacy has laid out a hauntingly desperate, spontaneously violent, and surprisingly tender landscape that audiences are sure to embrace. A struggling stand up comic kidnaps his party-girl ex-wife to prevent her from winning sole custody of their young son. What happens at a remote cabin in the high desert of California will settle the score - and it's no laughing matter.
