This Time
This acclaimed music documentary follows six recording artists on the verge of their next moment in the spotlight. They've sung back-up up for Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick and Jimi Hendrix, been homeless while their songs were on the charts, struggled to fill tiny cabarets and fight against the odds of the music industry -- all while holding tight to their dreams. With a hot soundtrack of extraordinary music, This Time takes you from the streets of South Central Los Angeles to New York's Park Avenue on a unique musical journey in this uplifting story of the transformative power of creativity. Starring the legendary recording artists The Sweet Inspirations (best known as back-up singers for Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin and Dusty Springfield), New York cabaret sensation Bobby Belfry, soul diva Pat Hodges (Hodges, James & Smith) and composer-producer Peitor Angell. As they battle self-sabotage and the brutality of the music industry, THIS TIME celebrates their widely ranging gifts and experiences in this inspiring story of hope, persistence and faith. Also featuring original Sweet Inspiration and gospel music star Cissy Houston.
Broadway Damage
In this funny valentine to love 1990’s style, three wide-eyed college grads score a great apartment in Greenwich Village and set out to take New York by storm. Laughing in the face of cynicism, Marc dreams of that big Broadway break, songwriter Robert dreams of Marc while the deliciously delusional Cynthia stalks her dream employer with nothing to recommend her except for a blank resume and the ability to accessorize. But when sexy neighbor David enters the picture, the harsh realities of life, love and career test their incorrigible optimism in this gay romantic comedy classic. A festival favorite, “Broadway Damage” is the winner of the Outfest Audience Award.
