Rodeos are woven into the cultural fabric of the American West and are held in small towns and bustling cities from Arizona to North Dakota, and beyond. Professional rodeo cowboys travel a year-long circuit of these rodeos, participating in a 150 year-old tradition, hoping to grab their share of fame and fortune. Cowboy Christmas is a 75-minute documentary following four of these modern-day cowboys as they drive for miles and miles to get a seconds-long chance at their dream. In the two weeks leading up to Independence Day-the Fourth of July, there are over 30 rodeos in 19 states, with a combined purse of over $3million. Because a rider can win a lot of money, these two weeks are informally and affectionately dubbed Cowboy Christmas. The documentary follows four cowboys making this trip, with each traveling over 2000 miles in eight days, in pickup trucks pulling trailers hauling horses, feed, other cowboys, and lots of desire to win. These cowboys are steer wrestlers who jump from a running horse to a running steer and wrestle it to the ground. The cowboys talk about injuries, driving, care for horses, and money: losing it, winning it and just breaking even. They describe strategy, camaraderie, and the mental game they play to win. And they wrestle steers-from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Oakley, Utah, and places in between. They win, they lose, and their passion for rodeo never wanes. They are cowboys, that most American icon, living their dreams, following the tradition of Western life, while risking broken bones, lost personal relationships and overdrawn bank accounts as they go down the road to the next arena, the next steer, their next chance at the American Dream.

'WACKEN 3D - louder than hell', a no holds barred exploration of the legendary Wacken Open Air, the biggest heavy metal festival of the world, will shoot in July and August this year. Director Nobert Heitker's feature doc, shot by Producer and Director of Photography Tomas Erhart in stereoscopic, "true" 3D will give audiences a chance to experience Wacken - the fans, the music, the unique atmosphere - in the most intimate way. Wacken is a true one-off. Beyond description. Every year, for three days in August, a sleepy farming village in the middle of the Northern German countryside becomes the epicenter of the metal universe. Almost 75,000 metal heads from around the globe invade the Wacken Open Air to pay homage to the greatest bands of the international metal scene. The first Wacken Open Air in 1990 attracted less than 800 attendees but since then it has grown every year. Now it is the biggest open air festival of its kind. Tickets are sold out within days - long before all of the participating bands are announced. Much has been written and documented about the festival. But what exactly makes Wacken so special? What gives it its magic - its soul? It is hard to answer these questions in mere words or anecdotes. If you want to understand Wacken you have to experience it. 'WACKEN 3D - louder than hell' will allow audiences to do precisely that, taking them right into the thick of it. Norbert Heitker, Tomas Erhart and their team will cover this year's complete Wacken Open Air around the clock, using 18 state of the art 3D cameras. The film will go way beyond the POV of the normal festival attendees. It will take the audience backstage to meet the bands before they perform, watching the faces of thousands of excited fans, feeling the crowd-surfing up close. The cameras will cover through the metal battles and the oompah music of the "Wacken Firefighters." And, of course, an intimate portrait of the festival fans - their stories, their outifits, their tents, and how they party.
