The Life -- Local filmmaker Ian Cooper (winner of multiple prestigious awards, including first prize at the Northern Minnesota Regional Film Festival and Talent Show) seeks to unveil the 'truth' about college life. With his amateur cameramen in tow, he spends a day documenting the lives of two Bemidji State University freshmen. One is an egghead, coming to BSU with the highest entrance exam scores in his class. The other is...his roommate.

Life -- A fast talking con-artist (Eddie Murphy) and a conservative bank teller (Martin Lawrence) team up and travel south on a bootlegging run to earn some quick cash in this hilarious comedy.

From the directors of Lawless Heart comes SPARKLE, a hilarious and heart-warming comedy about life, love, and getting ahead in the twenty-first century. Sam Sparkes (Shaun Evans) is a 22 year old with ambitions: move to London and join the glamorous PR world. When Vince (Bob Hoskins) finds Sam a job as a waiter, he meets his soon-to-be PR boss, Sheila (Stockard Channing). Sensing opportunity, Sam charms himself a job as Sheila's PA... and her lover. But when Sam falls for Kate (Amanda Ryan), he instigates a series of family betrayals and romantic mishaps. As balancing his job and love life becomes overwhelming, unexpected twists and uncovered secrets force Sam to choose between his career and the woman of his dreams.

The chart-topping soundtrack features songs by legendary R and B artist Curtis Mayfield ("Superfly"), including "Jump," "Hooked on Your Love" and the smooth ballad "Giving Him Something He Can Feel," recently covered with great success by En Vogue. Screenplay by hit-maker Joel Schumacher ("Batman Forever," "The Client").
