Swing State (Cameron Hickey)
Tuesday mornings are reserved exclusively for women golfers at the Llanerch Country Club in the Main Line section of suburban Philadelphia - a key region in this swing state for the 2008 election. Mary Pat McClatchey and her friends golf every Tuesday morning at 8am before having lunch at the clubhouse, an event which you can "hear all across the club" says fellow Llanerch club member Thomas Feeney. We'll follow Pat and her golf foresome through eighteen holes of golf and their ladies' lunch afterward. We'll ask them how "historic" they feel this election is, how they and their respective families feel about the candidates this year, and what this means for their children's future. As a critical swing area in a critical swing state, the Main Line is part of the broad center in American politics, and these women are at the heart of this pivotal battleground.

The R.O.M.E.O.S - Ep.1 (Katy Chevigny)
ROMEO is an acronym for 'Retired Old Men Eating Out' and features an informal club of retired lawyers, writers and intellectuals who meet every week at a classic New York diner. It is a long lunch to talk about anything and everything; telling old jokes, making fun of each other, complaining about politics. This is what the conversation would be like if the guys from 'Diner' hung out 50 years after the movie.

The R.O.M.E.O.S (Katy Chevigny)
The ROMEOS is a short documentary film about long relationships - good conversation amongst old friends. And we're talking old friends. The ROMEOs is an informal club of 5 old time New Yorkers, men aged 72-87, who have met every week for the past 20 years at the Metro Diner in New York City. It is a long lunch to talk about anything and everything; telling old jokes, making fun of each other, complaining about politics. Naturally they have nicknames: Mr. Indignant (his capacity for outrage knows no bounds), Mr. Google (this guy knows everything, you won't believe it), and The Token Goy. They are retired lawyers, writers and left-wing troublemakers and they are utterly hilarious without even trying.

Elizabeth Short
Using archival footage, newsprint image, text and an innovative use of audio, award-winning filmmaker Deco Dawson has fashioned a sensitive yet harrowing collage account of the 1947 Black Dahlia murder. Created exclusively using crude digital technology, the film presents a human side to the murder focusing on the victim Elizabeth Short and not often sensationalized aspects of the murder and unknown murderer.
