SYNOPSIS:   Ravenous for a little wry repartee? How about some sumptuous stand up brimming with badass banter and perfectly seasoned wit? Serving up another tasty treat, Ariztical Entertainment will release All Out Films' Karen Williams: I Need A Snack! A delicious live comedy special by one of the most outstanding lesbian comics in the country. Filmed live to a sold out audience at Hollywood’s Knitting Factory, Williams rifles off irreverent wisecracks about everything from what turns her on – power and cash flow – to making her body a temple that’s open to all visitors. Celebrating 25 outrageous, outspoken and out-and-out fabulous years of being in the funny business, Williams fires off wicked riffs about banks holding our money hostage, computers taking control of our lives and the Internet reinventing our intimacy. Regularly seen on HBO and claiming once to have been a sex goddess, the now self-proclaimed “Goddess of Sleep” who’d choose a sandwich over sex, is all out hilarity in high heels that will have you constantly craving for more!

SYNOPSIS:   It's been nearly two years since an obsessive love destroyed not only the lives of three young men, but also those they left behind. Emily Hamilton (Judith O'Dea) tries to cope with not only the loss of her son Elliot (Jerod Howard), but also the guilt of possibly driving him down his obsessive, murderous path. Nancy (Brinke Stevens) is desperate to find the love, friendship and support of a man similar to Corin (Sean Michael Lambrecht). Maggie (Darcey Vanderhoef) desires the companionship of a best friend, someone to be her confidant in the same vein as Jake (Jeff Dylan Graham). And Marti (Tina Ona Paukstelis) has deteriorated into a shell of a human being, harboring a secret so deeply connected to those in Elliot's life that she has had no choice but to run from it for the last two years.

Enter Eli (Sacha Sacket) and George (Lloyd Pedersen), two men who have become a part of these women's lives, and who hold the keys to saving them from their misery...or perhaps creating it. The men have a shared secret about their own pasts which will force the women to confront their own fears and guilt over the events which have already destroyed them. When the truth comes out, the terror once again begins as each of the women and both men are tossed into scenario after scenario of bloodshed, torture and the ultimate hell of death, mutilation and destruction. Who is the November Son, and what secrets does his own past hold that will either leave these women saved...or buried six feet under?

SYNOPSIS:   “A tale of Homo-cidal Mania!”

Gay sex buddies Nathan and Justin are united by their passion for slasher, vigilante, serial killer and zombie films. Bored and frustrated with their lives as students at an obscure college in impoverished New Haven, Connecticut, they decide to teach a self-important classmate, Andy, a lesson by raping him. The drug-fuelled incident goes awry and Andy dies. High on the thrill of their first killing, Nathan and Justin decide to pay a visit to nearby Ivy University to wreak more havoc on the elite campus. What follows is a harrowing and bloody tale of homo-cidal mania. They alight at an Ivy bar, hoping to identify a drunk, straight Ivy undergrad, lure him home, and photograph him having sex with them. Their goal is to extort money via blackmail. While they do encounter a promising group of four Ivies, including a hunky football player, Brooks, and one curiously flirtatious young singer, Chad, the evening does not go their way. Drunk to oblivion, the Ivies brag about being future world leaders: they have been tapped to join the most selective of Ivy's secret societies, Skull and Bones—just like George W. Bush—and put down Nathan and Justin for being losers. With humiliation added to their rage, the resentful duo decides to kidnap the Ivy men one by one. What follows is a harrowing and bloody tale of homo-cidal mania featuring a climactic ending that's sure to get a rise out of anyone with the balls to watch.

Synopsis:  It’s Election Year during the Bush Administration. Dan Butler (“Bulldog” from TV’s Frasier) is co-starring on Broadway with Alec Baldwin in “Twentieth Century”. Butler reluctantly agrees to participate in a documentary on the “unknown supporting actor” when he becomes smitten with the role of a lifetime: Karl Rove (Bush’s notorious advisor). Butler plans a stage show that will expose Rove as the architect behind a campaign of fear and divisiveness, a show that will appall the electorate and ensure a victory for John Kerry!

 Unfortunately, an actor can’t judge the character he’s playing. No one sees themselves as a villain. So, Butler sets out to discover the “Karl Rove” inside us all, but the more Butler sees the world through Rove’s eyes, the more Butler’s friends and associates find themselves worried about his well-being. And when Butler finds himself falling in love with Rove, truly scary events begin to occur…
