The Other Side

Music by
Kristopher Carter

On the night Samuel North is to reunite with the girl he loves: Hanna Thompson, he is mysteriously murdered and sent to Hell. Inside “the Pit”, two other damned souls on the run help Samuel escape back to the world of the living. Now there’s Hell to pay: the Netherworld has sent three invincible bounty hunters called REAPERS to hunt down and retrieve each of the escaped men. Setting out to uncover the mystery of his death and Hanna’s disappearance, Samuel finds unlikely allies in his gun-toting fellow escapees Mally and Oz — who hope that by helping Samuel find Hanna, they can redeem themselves and be free of the Pit forever.

Treading Water

Treading Water

Music by
Kristopher Carter

Christmas in New England is the setting for this thoughtful drama from Bay Area filmmaker Lauren Himmel. TREADING WATER follows Casey and Alex, two passionate lovers who are forging a rich and untraditional life together in a small coastal town. But their seemingly committed relationship is rocked by undercurrents of turmoil, as Casey grapples with her homophobic mother and her family’s overall dysfunction. A boat builder and fisherman, Casey lives in sharp contrast to her wealthy, provincial family across the bay. She and Alex cherish their home (a restored fishing boat) and their modest life together, but every year Christmastime brings trouble. Casey’s mother refuses to meet Alex, and holidays past have meant that Casey must spend the traditional Christmas Eve dinner alone with her family, not allowed to even mention Alex’s name. When Casey refuses to attend this year’s festivities without her partner, her family’s tightly wound secrecy and silence begin to unravel. The family gathering is also haunted by the pain of one of Casey’s brothers, still tormented over the accidental drowning of his best friend years ago, and by the self-destruction of another brother. Guilt and alienation build into a bittersweet climax, where the family must face its demons and Casey must learn what “family” really means to her. Despite the heavy subject matter, Himmel brings a gentle, at times comical, touch to this poignant family portrait.

Dangerous Calling

Dangerous Calling

Music by
Kristopher Carter,
Michael McCuistion,
Lolita Ritmanis

A suspense thriller set in the world of small town church politics, Dangerous Calling follows the story of Pastor Evan Burke and his wife Nora as they assume leadership of First Baptist Willit Springs after the mysterious death of the previous pastor. Eager to get to know the new pastor, Miss Pat, the church’s controlling widow-woman, invites Evan and Nora to stay with her while she has the parsonage renovated. Left alone at Miss Pat’s beautiful home in the mountains of North Georgia, Nora begins to suspect that Miss Pat’s extremely sheltered adult son, Elijah, may have had something to do with the previous pastor’s death. Although the story involves Christian characters, Dangerous Calling is not your typical church film. Owing more to Psycho and Misery than Left Behind, Dangerous Calling is sure to keep you on the edge of the pew. In this church the politics can be deadly.
