| The Stand In |

Undaunted, Too Cool remains confident that come hell or high water, he will one day be a Star. Too Cool and his homeboy Gumby are not above a little foul play to get what they want. |
| The Hand of God |
Feature Film |
| On April 4, 1968, at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. What you didn't read because it never made the papers was the death of Michael McManus, shot to death on the streets of the Lower East Side, allegedly by local street-ball legend Otis Thompson. Otis was only hours away from catching a flight to training camp, and now he is being led away in handcuffs by the police, his shooting hand mangled, his career finished. It never made any sense....til now. Otis takes us back to the famous Steel Curtain, a place that all the greats had to play on if they were to be taken seriously, and slowly, as he grows older, the facade of the ghetto around him begins to close, we begin to piece together his undoing, and the secret that Otis and Michael share that led to the fatal shooting on April 4, 1968. The day our heroes died. |
| S.O.S., "Save Our Seniors" |
Television Series |
| A dramatic series featuring a New York lawyer who specializes in cases involving the elderly. Isaiah Bond is smart, patient, and involved. He decided to do a little something different with his law degree. "S.O.S" will have tremendous appeal because we all have concerns about our older relatives, friends, and neighbors and not one of us is getting younger. The plight of our senior citizens is often in the news and even more, a part of our daily lives. Health, inheritance, euthanasia, pensions, fraud, romance, stem cell research, senility, muggings, and family conflicts are some of the many issues that will arise in the ongoing series. The multicultural cast reflects the universal nature of these concerns. Many of the recurring characters- Isaiah, Cassandra, Cham and Kathleen- are attractive lawyers in their thirties, so there are always possibilities of romance, lifestyle changes and conflict. |
| A Mother's Love |
Documentary |
| A true documentary about Mothers (Hispanic, African-American, Caucasian, Native American, Asian, etc.). Interviews will be conducted with mothers of different ethnic background, ages, and religions. Some of the interviews will use subtitles to compensate for language barriers. It will open with the narration of Barry Bradford and his own story of his beloved mother and the legacy she left with him. We will also interview people whose mother's are deceased. In addition, we will interview a couple of sports figures and celebrities, but the main focus of the documentary will be about everyday mothers. This will be Keep It Real at its best. The truth will be told. |
| Don't Wait Til Tomorrow |
Film Short |
| Teachers of today discuss and try to confront real issues in our school system and the problems kids may be dealing with at home. |

| Where Did My Twenties Go? |
