Sound & Fury: Six Years Later

The Opposite Sex

The life of the Artinian family of Long Island was chronicled in the Academy Award nominated film Sound and Fury that came out in 2000. Sound and Fury: Six Years Later is another engaging look at this extraordinary family in the years since their first movie captured audiences around the world. Sound and Fury ended with 6-year-old Heather’s parents deciding not to implant her. In this stand-alone follow up film we learn that Heather’s parents changed their minds and she finally did get the implant at 9 years old, as did Heather’s 2 younger brothers, her mother, her deaf aunt and her 2 deaf cousins. The film follows Heather in her life today interacting fluidly between the hearing world of her school and the signing deaf world of her parents.

Beautiful Daughters

The Opposite Sex

Beautiful Daughters is a film about the first all transgender production of Eve Ensler’s THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES. This is the first gathering of the best and brightest of the transsexual community coming together to present a powerful message to change stereotypic views of transsexuals. This film embraces and totally accepts these women. Outrageous, deeply painful, deliciously funny - they tell their stories and we fall in love with them. Beautiful Daughters puts a complex, vulnerable and totally human face on these ladies. We see that they are a part of the fabric of our society and the film inspires acceptance, compassion and inclusion for them.

Bullrider
The Opposite Sex

BULLRIDER takes you close in to the remarkable unknown world of professional bullriding. It's the story of 3 of the world’s top riders vying for the 2004 World Championship and the million dollar prize. The aging 2-time world champion, super-star Adriano Moraes, has a widening lead throughout the season but, despite injuries, broken bones and constant pain, Justin McBride and Mike Lee fight their way back to a neck and neck poignant ending at the finish in the Las Vegas finals. These are modern day gladiators competing in the most dangerous sport on earth. A story of endurance through pain, human sacrifice and accomplishment, BULLRIDER also tells a story of America today, a generation away from the warm fuzzy myths of the American West.
