Booked
In 1969, in a local UK Football Association Challenge Cup soccer match, something very peculiar took place: before the day was done, one man ended up in hospital, one man was sent off the pitch and all 22 players had been booked - the equivalent of today's being shown a yellow card - including a man who wasn't even at the match. And a linesman/manager got booked too. This was the first and only time anything like this had ever happened in British Football. This film, 'BOOKED', is an attempt to investigate this unique, extraordinary event, to uncover the truth, to debunk the myth and finally bring to light a seemingly incredible event which has somehow been all but erased from the record books. BOOKED.

The Murder Network
The shocking story of serial killer Marcel Petiot, a respected French doctor and town mayor who is also a cunning, violent psychopath. During World War II, as Hitler's forces march into France spreading fear and paranoia throughout the country, Petiot uses the confusion to prey on those most in fear for their lives - the Jews, partisans and criminals desperate to flee the Nazi regime. Posing as a resistance operative, he creates an elaborate, fictional "escape network", offering to help the oppressed flee from the occupied zone to the freedom of South America. Yet there is no network. Instead, Petiot leads his victims to a secret location and murders them. As the corpses begin to pile up, soon Petiot is being hunted down both by the Gestapo, who believe he is a member of the Resistance and the French police, who fear that this intelligent, charismatic Dr could be the deadliest serial killer to have ever stalked the streets of Paris.

When the Bands Stopped Playing
When the Bands Stopped Playing is a bit of a time capsule that gives viewers a detailed glimpse inside of this shattered and shuttered industry through the eyes of its' hardest workers. Famous artists, indie artists on the rise, plus rock and dance acts working the club circuit have all lent their voices to this special project. We also believed it was crucial to hear from the perspective of the president of one of the most successful venues in the U.S.as his story speaks for every other venue that was shuttered for the better part of a year. Every voice was crucial to the telling of this story and in our eyes, they also share an equal amount of importance. They speak openly about the financial hardship, deep depression of losing something that they love so much (even temporarily), and the things that they are doing to help keep their own positivity and hope alive.

The Real Taylor Swift: Wild Dreams
Music was a mission in this case. A family affair it certainly was long before the "Swiftie" fan club took root. So Taylor Alison Swift's saga would unfold with her dream-come-true move from a Christmas tree farm in Reading, Pennsylvania to Nashville, Tennessee in 2004. Her parents' careers in stocks, bonds and mutual funds had no interest for this child prodigy. It was her opera singer grandmother, Marjorie Finlay, who inspired Taylor to make music. 200 million albums would eventually follow. There were lessons, auditions and song writing sessions along the way, even a brief stint as a musical model for Abercrombie and Fitch. By age fourteen Taylor left RCA for the independent Big Machine Records where she became the opening act for Rascal Flats. It was 2018 when a 13 year relationship ended bitterly in court. Meanwhile nine albums and five concert tours have been rewarded with 11 Grammy Awards. 12 Country Music, 11 MTV and 25 Billboard Awards. Swift plays four musical instruments including piano, banjo, guitar and ukulele. She is credited with writing 179 songs, 21 that describe old boyfriends. Seven #1 hit singles like "Shake It Off", "Blank Space", "Bad Blood" and "I Knew You Were Trouble" reveal secrets from the past. Be it pop, country or rock, the music traces a life story filled with love and loss, all Taylor-made.

King Otto
In the summer of 2004, audiences looked on in disbelief as the Greek National Football Team, a country that had never previously won a single match in a major tournament, took down the giants of world football to become the unlikeliest of European Champions.

After accomplishing every major success in Germany, he made the bold decision to leave all he knew behind and work in a foreign country with the underachieving Greek National Team. This is the story of how these two contrasting cultures came together to speak the same language and write a new chapter of Greek mythology.

a-ha: The Movie
Three musicians, all in their fifties, are back on tour. They have fans in every age group and play in huge sold-out arenas around the world. They travel in black Mercedes limousines--each in his own--stay separately in luxury hotels and have separate dressing rooms in the backstage area every night. Only on stage are they together. We watch Morton Harket, Magne Furuholmen and Paul Waaktaar very closely with our camera. Our mission is to find out why these three, friends since childhood, have become so cold with one another. Something is totally rotten among them, but what? The two blondes in the band, Magne and Paul, formed their first band together at age 10, and like many teens they dreamed of becoming world-famous rock musicians. In 1970s Norway, that was an impossible, childish dream. The country was primarily known for "Zero Points" in the Eurovision Song Contest and had never produced a band that was famous beyond its borders. But of all people, these guys succeeded. Their dream came true. But did it really? All three answer this question with a slight doubt. They actually dreamed of becoming serious rock stars, not teenage idols who were pictured in glossy magazines.
