Short Synopsis
ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS is a gothic-horror comedy that parodies the classic Vincent Price/Edgar Allen Poe/Roger Corman films of the early 60's..

Full Synopsis
Lovers of camp have reason to rejoice with this film. Yes, Elvira's back and she's fabulous! With her voluptuous milky-white cleavage, voluminous black hair and hilarious one-liners, the essence of camp oozes from her pores. Elvira's Haunted Hills culls its outrageousness from the classic Vincent Price/Edgar Allen Poe/Roger Corman films of the early 60's along with a little Rocky Horror Picture Show and Fearless Vampire Killers. The tale begins in 1851, Carpathia when Elvira and her maid ZouZou are en route to perform in the Parisian Revue "Yes I Can Can" but inadvertently end up at the sinister Lord Vladimere Hellsubus' medieval castle. Bearing an uncanny resemblance to Vladimere's long-dead wife, Elvira learns of the Hellsubus curse and finds her life in danger. What's a girl to do? Well, break out into song and dance, of course. Continuing our saga, love-torn Vladimere chases our heroine on her high heels around the castle. Will she escape the family curse and the evil Vladimere, and can she keep her hands off the studly stable master long enough to save the day?

Director of Photography Neil Young

Short Synopsis
Neil Young's musical interpretation of a small town murder and its repercussions.

Full Synopsis
Created by one of the greatest and well-respected musicians of our time, Neil Young's directorial debut and Toronto Film Festival premier, GREENDALE, is a "musical novel" told through some of his finest songs to date.

GREENDALE's focus is on the Green family. From Grandpa sitting on the front porch commenting on the state of the world, to his struggling artist son Earl Green, to Sun Green, Earl's vibrant, free-spirited daughter, daily existence in Greendale seems idealistically perfect and trouble-free, at first. This uneventful lifestyle is proven to be more intricate than first glances would indicate, when Cousin Jed shoots and kills a police officer, sparking a chain of events that change the lives of those around him in both simple and profound ways.

"A little love and affection
In everything you do
Will make the world a better place
With or without you." (N. Young, 2003)

Full Synopsis
Sam Murray runs a restaurant. He and Sarah grew up together and Sam hoped they'd grow old together. His world fell apart the day Sarah left and now she's back; standing on his doorstep telling him she'd like to spend some time with him, turn his life inside out all over again. He introduces her to his wife and explains that now, his time belongs to someone else. Sarah leaves the restaurant dejected and returns to the house where she grew up, where her father still lives. Not that he wants to see her. Frank has been sitting in the same arm chair for the last seven years and doesn't particularly want to get out of it. Not for anybody. Not until his daughter tells him why she's back. One More Kiss is a story about rediscovering love and how when perceptions are forced to change, life can hold an entirely different meaning.
