September 22nd – EARTHWORK
Award Winning documentary about real life crop artist, Stan Herd who built a massive environmental artwork in Manhattan’s Upper West Side on land owned by Donald Trump.  Stan utilized every bit of local rocks, soil & vegetation and recruited local homeless people as his work crew.

September 29th – The Morrison Project
Documentary filmmaker, Amy Morrison Williams, digs deep into the painful, troubled past of her own family to understand a modern day tragedy – her father, Jean Morrison.  Told through a series of interviews with her siblings and a father whose memory had been left in shattered pieces after an assault, the story is a gut-wrenching journey towards redemption.

TEX: Vampire Hunter (short)
- In the Old West, a vampire-hunting gunslinger must confront his ex-lover, the leader of a coven of vampire prostitutes.

EAT ME: A Zombie Musical (feature)
- The 7th Circle of Hell is for those who commit violence against art.  They drive across the heartland to a midnight rave where death awaits, disguised as a cheese sandwich.  BE WARNED!!  This is not a horror film.  It is part rock opera, part political satire, part absurd comedy and part head trip.  Order a few pints before the movie begins. It will certainly enhance the experience.

Cornbread Samurai (Short) – Animated comedy from Wilmington’s own Hank & Jed Picture.

Guy In Row 5 (feature) – Aspiring actor Thess has just pestered his way into an audition for the hit TV show, “Rodeo Nights”. He’s so convinced that he has the part, he decides to have his friend, Tony and girlfriend, Rose (Clare Kramer from Buffy The Vampire Slayer) document his last day of anonymity. A comedy about the relentless determination of a Hollywood underdog who will inspire the dreamer in all of us.
