April Grace

Patrick (John Hawkes) and his crew get caught breaking into a home.

Safe -- Two children are alone, trapped in a burning house. The town is spoiled and cracked. A bird flies down to the city looking for someone that could save them but humans have forgotten how to listen. A tale about persistence, hope and magic.

A second-rate cage fighter on the mixed martial arts circuit, Luke Wright lives a numbing life of routine beatings and chump change...until the day he blows a rigged fight. Wanting to make an example of him, the Russian Mafia murders his family and banishes him from his life forever, leaving Luke to wander the streets of New York destitute, haunted by guilt, and tormented by the knowledge that he will always be watched, and anyone he develops a relationship with will also be killed. But when he witnesses a frightened twelve-year-old Chinese girl, Mei, being pursued by the same gangsters who killed his wife, Luke impulsively jumps to action...and straight into the heart of a deadly high-stakes war. Mei, he discovers, is no ordinary girl, but an orphaned math prodigy forced to work for the Triads as a 'counter.' He discovers she holds in her memory a priceless numerical code that the Triads, the Russian mob and a corrupt faction of the NYPD will kill for. Realizing he's the only person Mei can trust, Luke tears a swath through the city's brutal underworld to save an innocent girl's life...and perhaps even redeem his own.

Larry Carlton's Trio performance at Paris' famed New Morning in April, 2008 was a dream for fans of high class guitar instrumental music. Playing in a Trio formation has always been a musical moment of truth for most pop, jazz, blues, and rock musicians,but for Larry it is an opportunity to showcase his spectacular, full fledged exhibition of sophisticated groove, joy, and grace! His love for music and his pleasure of surfing on the crystal sound spring out of his soul and shine throughout the show. -Daniel Farhi
