FEATURE: OFF THE LEASH (family-friendly comedy)
Logline: When a kind, yet impulsive, woman rescues an abused German shepherd, she’s determined to keep him until her conscience kicks in and tells her to locate the dog’s true owner, even if it means she loses her beloved new pet.
Synopsis: When Sophie Zinelli answers her phone in the middle of the night, she never expects to be asked to rescue a mistreated dog. She’s a busy career woman and knows nothing about owning a dog, let alone a bossy, sly, and smart-alecky German Shepherd. Sophie tackles Max’s vet visit, Max’s training, and tries not to be out-smarted at every turn. And what will Sophie’s family do when they find out she’s bringing home a dog and giving him a job in their family’s restaurant? Max’s vet insists Max needs a job. But what kind of a job can a huge, wily, neurotic dog like Max get in a fine dining establishment? Why, becoming a maître d of course. Maybe. If Max will quit eating the profits, stealing grandma’s dentures, and can charm a skeptical food critic. Sophie must figure out who is sabotaging Max at every turn before her very large, very loud, very Italian family banishes them both for good. But who does Max really belong to? Once Sophie falls in love with Max, she realizes she must do the right thing by finding his owner, even if it means losing her newly beloved dog. But who will claim the dog; the bad people who abused him, or the people he was originally stolen from?

FEATURE: THE BANANA WARS (historical, war)
Logline: A reluctant, young Marine is sent on a suicide mission to rescue an American businessman and finds he must conquer guerilla warfare, love, and American corruption in the 1920's Nicaraguan Banana Wars.
Synopsis: THE BANANA WARS is the story of a young man, James Hanvey, who enlists in the Marines to escape poverty in 1926. His enlistment takes him to Nicaragua to fight in what history has now termed “The Banana Wars”. Hanvey is, at first, sent to fight against Sandino and his army, but he soon gets orders to rescue an American executive of the despised United Fruit Company.
**It’s hard to overstate the historical significance of Sandino’s insurgency, both for the region and for the world. For one thing, it was among the earliest examples of successful guerrilla warfare, inspiring countless revolutionary movements to adopt similar tactics all over the world, especially in Latin America. For another, it provoked the United States to use aerial bombardments against a clandestine movement — a first in world history and a harbinger of the horrors later rained down on civilians in countries like Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Yemen.
