Abuse and Neglect (2008)
|
In 1986, an investigation into a large and notorious asylum revealed a system of criminal abuse and neglect that resulted in a court mandate to close the facility. What makes this case so chilling is that this was an asylum for children. In Abuse and Neglect, producer and director Marc Reed revisits the old asylum as it is today - after twenty years of neglect - and retraces the steps of those who lived its horrors.

Lizzie In Her Time (2008)
|
In 1892, a young woman in Fall River, MA was arrested for brutally murdering her parents but was subsequently acquitted. Not only has Lizzie Borden become an American legend, but the unsolved murders have created a lasting legacy of amateur criminal investigations, and endless speculation. So much so that the house in which the murders occurred is now a Bed & Breakfast. Lizzie In Her Time will attempt to trace the history of Lizzie Borden against the backdrop of Fall River and its rich industrial and cultural history. Written and Directed by Richard Behrens |
Music For Twilight (2009)
|
Through the course of a musical career spanning some four decades, many sobriquets have been applied to describe Cy Walter's talent, among them the "darling of New York supper clubs"; the "poet of the piano"; and the "Dean of Cocktail Pianists". Although sometimes categorized as a "jazz improvisationalist", Cy preferred to characterize himself as a "stylist of show tunes". Cy's piano playing, however, was unique and largely defied stereotyped labels. Music For Twilight, written and Directed by Richard Behrens, will trace the life, career and lingering legacy of this special artist. |
