REALITY QUEEN!

A cutting edge parody

starring Denise Richards, Julia Faye West with Mike Tyson

Anyone who has ever watched a reality show, has seen Paris Hilton, the Kardashians or similar, will be highly entertained by this witty parody of social media celebs and reality television stars. Our young beauty London's life is a self-indulgent fantasy whirlwind of partying, mansions, yachts, 

private jets, pet psychics and a celebrity posse. 

Then, after a drunken fall puts her in the hospital, 

she sets out to steal back the limelight from her 

reality television arch-rivals, the Kim sisters. 

Are these celebs-for-no-reason marketing geniuses, 

or are they just the accidental beneficiaries of the 

public's stupidity? London hopes to set them straight 

in this hilarious, from-the-headlines, comedy.

Provocative. Unconventional. Funny, clever and inventive.

CORNELIA AND HER LOVERS

Screen adaptation of a classical gem of Argentinian literature

an award winning story by Silvina Ocampo

Director Daniel Rosenfeld (Winner of Best New Director Award at the Venice Film Festival) has successfully brought Silvina Ocampo's disturbing strangeness to film, making it a sublime, stylish and hypnotic exploration of the magical realm from which all art originates: the domain of the in-between, the space between two notes, the crack where light gets in.

Beautiful and fragile Cornelia returns to her 

supposedly empty Alice in Wonderland-like 

childhood home. 

As the mirrors begin reflecting 

her multiple personalities, lovers mysteriously 

appear one by one as if wanting to keep her from 

entering the other side from where there is no 

return.

The filmmaker manages to stay true to the original 

concept of the writer who intends the viewer to be 

co-creator in this suspenseful tale of love, longing,
destiny and redemption.

As if by magic, when Cornelia looks into the mirror, 

we see our own psyche in the reflections.
