Happy Endings

Rhode Island. The only state where indoor prostitution is legal. It had been over 25 years since five prostitutes sued the state of Rhode Island for selective prosecution, and prostitution laws were removed from the books when documentarians T.L. Hurley and Nick Marcoux turned their cameras on the under belly of "The Renaissance City" Providence, RI. Watch the drama unfold in Asian massage parlors as Mayor David Cicilline of the City of Providence pushes to close the prostitution "loophole". Follow "Heather", a Korean immigrant, over two years as she manages a massage parlor. Learn about the women who work in the spas. Hear from the police who arrest them. Watch the fight for and against legislation.
The film includes subtitled interviews with Korean women who work in the spas, clients who frequent the spas, Police, Politicians from 1980 and today, local news footage, local radio call in shows, and �voiced� reviews from Internet escort review boards. This film experiments with both the narrative and documentary style of film creating a new style of cinema verite.

Bigger, Stronger, Faster*

Copyright � 2008 Magnolia Pictures | In America, we define ourselves in the superlative: we are the biggest, strongest, fastest country in the world. We reward speed, size and above all else: winning - at sport, at business and at war. Metaphorically we are a nation on steroids. Is it any wonder that so many of our heroes are on performance enhancing drugs? From the producers of Bowling For Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 comes a new film that unflinchingly explores our win-at-all-cost culture through the lens of a personal journey. Blending comedy and pathos, BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER* is a collision of pop culture, animated sequences and first-person narrative, with a diverse cast including US Congressmen, professional athletes, medical experts and everyday gym rats. At its heart, this is the story of director Christopher Bell and his two brothers, who grew up idolizing muscular giants like Hulk Hogan, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and who went on to become members of the steroid-subculture in an effort to realize their American dream. When you discover that your heroes have all broken the rules, do you follow the rules, or do you follow your heroes? | Director:Christopher Bell | Magnolia Pictures
