  A young man tries to tie up some loose ends before he goes to war in this independent drama from director Neil Abramson. Mike Holland (Nick Cannon) is nineteen years old and has just completed his basic training as a private in the United States Marine Corps. Mike has a four-day leave so he can visit his family for Thanksgiving and then has orders for combat duty in Iraq. Mike wants to spend time with his family and friends before he ships out but he doesn't want to tell anyone that he'll be stationed in Iraq. While taking the bus home to Bakersfield California Mike meets Cristina (Melonie Diaz) and it doesn't take long for him to realise he's infatuated with her. Mike makes a date to spend some time with Cristina but he already has a busy schedule over the next four days. Mike catches up with his little sister (Erica Gluck) his doting mother (April Grace) and her taciturn new husband (Tom Sizemore) and sees his estranged father (Chi McBride) for the first time in years. Mike also hangs out with his best friend Jake (Matt O'Leary) but discovers he's begun taking a different path in life while Mike was in boot camp. And Mike happens to meet a disabled soldier back from Iraq (Jay Hernandez) who gives him an idea of what he can expect during his tour of duty. AMERICAN SON was screened in competition at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

  Ringmaster follows the progress of two very different but equally bizarre groups of social misfits who apply to reveal their sordid relationship secrets on the fictitious Jerry TV show. The film's story begins with Connie (Molly Hagan) and her promiscuous daughter Angel (Jaime Pressly) who performs sexual favours for guests at the seedy motel where she works as well as sleeping with her mother's husband behind her back. Enraged Connie seduces her treacherous daughter's fiance before realising there's an even better way to get her revenge... appearing on the Jerry show to tell all. Meanwhile Starletta (Wendy Raquel Robinson) is a young woman with a very thorny problem - her two best friends Vonda (Tangie Ambrose) and Leshawnette (Nicki Micheaux) are getting down and dirty with her philandering boyfriend Desmond (Michael Jai White). In a whirlwind of accusations excuses and lies these squabbling misfits from the shallow end of the gene pool also get their sights on a showdown on the Jerry show.
