The Independent -- A notorious B-movie director tries for a comeback by seeking out the film rights to the life story of a serial killer who wants his biography film to be a musical.

Morty and Paloma try to find the money to help Morty complete his latest work, the socially conscious semi-erotic thriller, Ms. Kevorkian.

After checking into a mental health treatment facility after her parents' death, Jamie Ellison is finally on stable ground when she meets the seemingly perfect Michael Radcliffe.

The Independent is the story of one man's struggle for a little bit of recognition. It's filled with interviews from Morty's celebrity friends, clips from his thirty years of films, and a cinema verite camera which follows Morty and Paloma as they try to find the money to help him complete his latest work, the socially conscious semi-erotic thriller, Ms. Kevorkian. The Independent is filled with great performances, and finds its way into your hands as the result of the settling of a lawsuit with a now-defunct, terrible little independent film distributor, the ugly details of which we are contractually unable to revisit here. Enjoy!
