Premiere: March 21'Bent' is a romantic comedy about a womanizing, surfer dude contractor and his beautiful, no-nonsense, type-A client, who work together to remodel each other s lives as they renovate her Venice, California home. On the surface, Alex (Amanda Peet, 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip') and Pete (David Walton, 'Perfect Couples') could not be more different. The recently divorced Alex is a hard-working, high-strung lawyer who is raising her 10-year-old daughter, Charlie (Joey King, 'Ramona and Beezus') as a single mom following her husband s incarceration for insider trading. Unwilling to let anything get in her way, she downsizes into a smaller house and hires charismatic Pete, a free-spirited ladies man and recovering gambling addict who desperately needs this gig with Alex to jumpstart his life -- and prove that he is no longer a screw-up. Upon hiring him, Alex quickly realizes that she has met her match in Pete, who -- along with his motley construction crew will not only tear apart her kitchen, but transform her worldview in the process. Adding to the charm of Alex's family life is her wild younger sister, Screwsie (Margo Harshman, 'Sorority Row'), who, unfortunately for Alex, seems to be cut from the same reckless cloth as Pete. Meanwhile, Pete s home life includes his narcissistic, live-in father, Walt (Jeffrey Tambor, 'Arrested Development'), a perpetually unemployed actor who still yearns to get back in the game. The single-camera comedy from writer and executive producer Tad Quill ('Scrubs,' 'Spin City') and director Craig Zisk ('Nurse Jackie,' 'Weeds') will show that these resilient characters are 'bent, not broken.

Under African Skies -- UNDER AFRICAN SKIES is a really great film in which Joe Berlinger travels back to South Africa with Paul -- his first trip back in 25 years, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the historic Graceland album. Paul reunites with the band to give a reunion concert and that present tense thread is then used to tell the story of the turbulent birth of the album. Despite its huge success, and despite it being the first popular/successful example of fusing American and African musical styles, it was initially met with tremendous political crossfire, as Paul was accused of breaking the UN cultural boycott of South Africa designed to end the Apartheid regime. Paul revisits these ghosts as the musical journey is explored. The film will feature interviews with Oprah Winfrey, Paul McCartney, Harry Belafonte, David Byrne, Philip Glass, Lorne Michaels, Whoopi Goldberg, Quincy Jones, and Steve Van Zandt.

Feature trailer for Our Home - The Astral City. Based on the best selling book by medium Chico Xavier, the film tells the story of Andre Luiz, a successful doctor who experiences an enlightening spiritual awakening after his death.
