CINEMATOGRAPHY BY: Irene Gomez-Emilsson
PRODUCER/S: Alida Rose Delaney, Mikhail Makeyev, Suze Myers

 SYNOPSIS:
Anne (Jaclyn Bethany) is a young actress, intensely rehearsing for the title role in an edgy Off-Broadway production of Strindberg’s challenging play Miss Julie. Overwhelmed by the character, Anne is continuously disappointing herself and her rising star director. When Anne goes home to her husband—the older, charming, but struggling playwright Tate (Adam David Thompson)— she is confronted by his precocious teenage daughter, Sadie (Rileigh McDonald) and his domineering ex-wife Helen (Tina Benko), who runs a competing theatre company. 

As the world of the play and her personal life intertwine, Anne is unable to differentiate between herself and her character, the impulsive, wild Miss Julie, leading to an all-consuming confrontation with her co-star, the unpredictable and wily Adam Shaw (Alex Hurt) that makes her question not only her art, but also her life choices. 

The competitive world of the business is illuminated by the supporting cast - egotistical director Wells (James Udom), his eager to please assistant Thea (Shay Lee Abeson) and Anne’s co-star the smarter than she looks devious Naomi (Caitlin Carver).  Boundaries are crossed, talent is fierce as each character’s world is unlocked as we venture deeper into the psychologies of the theatre and its people.

THE STORY BEHIND THE SHOW… It’s “Mrs. Doubtfire” meets “Goodfellas” meets “Glee”
LOG LINE: To save his family from the mob, Tony Finelli, the famous singer, spent 15 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Upon his release, Tony finds that he has lost not only his wife, children, and home, but also his name, reputation, career – and all his money. Like a clumsy Phoenix trying to rise from the ashes, the eternal optimist sets out on a very bumpy journey to reclaim his life and win back the love and respect of his family. Unfortunately for Tony, things don’t always work out as planned.

SYNOPSIS: In the 1990’s, Tony Finelli, an Italian-American from New York (Mark Janicello) was a star in Europe. Tony found fame starring in “ELVIS: The Musical” and together with his ever-present manager, Jürgen Drahtseil, turned that initial success into an international singing career. 

In 1997, Jürgen was approached by an “Italian Concert Promoter” regarding a big concert for Tony in Sicily. This “promoter” turned out to be an undercover agent working for the German CIA and leading a secret sting operation to arrest” Mr. Big “(Godfather of the Gambaretto Mafia Family), who was under investigation in Berlin for both tax evasion and money laundering. In over their heads and caught between the Mafia and the German CIA, Tony and Jürgen were faced with the choice of either going to prison for Mr. Big or having both of their families murdered by the mob.

SYNOPSIS:
Much is known about the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. But new archaeology at Egypt’s sacred sites reveals a surprising undercover power structure – led by women.

Based on new archaeological and historical discoveries, cutting edge scientific research, expert analysis and ground breaking theories, “Sacred Sites: Egyptian Priestesses” offers a fascinating new perspective on Egypt’s sacred temples, tombs and monuments and the people who used them. The film reveals a surprising undercover power structure in ancient Egypt, led by women: an elite succession of priestesses called the God’s Wives of Amun, who wielded extraordinary influence. Until recently they were all but forgotten, but in this docudrama film, experts investigate Egypt’s sacred sites to rediscover their story and the mysterious source of their power.

The film explores how the God’s Wife of Amun’s great wealth and religious importance gave her immense political power, comparable to a medieval Pope. One God’s Wife, Hatshepsut, was so successful that she even managed to become pharaoh. Excavations at the Karnak temple complex reveal Hatshepsut’s connection with an extraordinary religious festival where drunkenness and sex were key ritual activities. Sex, it turns out, was central to the God’s Wife’s religious role and a mysterious ceremony she conducted in the Great Temple of Amun. The power these extraordinary females wielded reflects the unusual independence and sexual freedom of ancient Egyptian women, something that may have enabled them to take the initiative in other walks of life.

The God’s Wives had an unforgettable impact on Egyptian history and blazed a trail for the most famous Egyptian queen of all. Cleopatra epitomized the dangerous and intoxicating relationship between power and sex. But after her death, Rome conquered Egypt and women were reduced to the status of second-class citizens. In the centuries that followed, the memory of these dynamic women all but faded from history. Now, new discoveries and archaeological evidence reveal their incredible story.
