Biography | Crime | Drama
In 1965, Bob Crane, who had achieved some earlier success as a television supporting actor, was working as a successful morning radio DJ at KNX Los Angeles. Despite enjoying his work, photography (especially of the female form) and drumming, Crane wanted to be a movie star. So it was with some reluctance that he accepted the title starring role in a new television sitcom called Hogan's Heroes, a WWII POW comedy. To his surprise, the show became a hit and catapulted him to television stardom. The fame resulting from the show led to excesses and a meeting with home video salesman and technician John Carpenter, with who he would form a friendship based on their mutual interests, namely excessive sex (for Crane, purely heterosexual sex) and capturing nude females on celluloid.

Pollock (2000)
Biography | Drama
At the end of the 1940's, abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) is featured in Life magazine. Flashback to 1941, he's living with his brother in a tiny apartment in New York City, drinking too much, and exhibiting an occasional painting in group shows. That's when he meets artist Lee Krasner, who puts her career on hold to be his companion, lover, champion, wife, and, in essence, caretaker. To get him away from booze, insecurity, and the stress of city life, they move to the Hamptons where nature and sobriety help Pollock achieve a breakthrough in style: a critic praises, then Life magazine calls. But so do old demons: the end is nasty, brutish, and short.

Sex & Lies in Sin City (2008)
Biography | Crime | Drama | Mystery
A shockingly true tale of love gone sour and greed gone wild on the dark side of Las Vegas. Reckless casino executive Ted Binion had it all: money, power and a beautiful girlfriend, Sandy Murphy. That all changed when Sandy found him dead in his Las Vegas home in 1998, seemingly of an apparent drug overdose. But when Ted's estranged sister, Becky, informs police she believes Ted was murdered, a closer investigation reveals Binion's death was no accident at all. "Sex & Lies In Sin City" is the gritty portrayal of the investigation and trial of Murphy and her ex-con boyfriend who attempted to steal Binion's fortune by any means necessary. The film captures the unbelievably dark and twisted crimes – and subsequent shock – that swept through Las Vegas as the truth about Binion's last days became disturbingly clear.
