CHASING BEAUTY provides a rare glimpse into the intriguing and complex world of modeling. Behind the glossy covers of Vogue and Glamour lie the rarely talked about, uncensored stories of what models endure and sacrifice to become a top model. CHASING BEAUTY examines body image and the psychological effects of the beauty business on young women and men. The film examines what it takes to be a top model - the demanding and oftentimes unattainable physical requirements of the position, the financial and emotional investment, and the moral negotiations that are sometimes prerequisites for making it. The film follows supermodels, photographers, agents, designers, plastic surgeons, make-up artists and psychologists and asks the question...what is beauty and is it worth the cost?

A television documentary from 2014, this 56 minute short film explores the BBC television series "Sherlock" with interviews by the actors and writers of the show. Fans are given a behind-the-scenes look at the passion and process of bringing sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most beloved character to the screen. Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat (creators of BBC's "Sherlock") see their lifelong dream achieved by giving their boyhood hero new life in this modern adaptation set in 21st century London. Because of their love of Doyle's master detective, Gatiss and Moffat try to stick closely to the original stories. They succeeded. So much so that, in a repeat of the 1893 event in which Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes from his stories, today's audiences (more than 100years later) were just as distraught at the death of their beloved hero. Sherlock Holmes fans, both then and now, came up with their own theories as to how Holmes may have survived. If you love this show, you will thoroughly enjoy "Unlocking Sherlock".

After the fall of the military dictatorship in 1983, successive democratic governments launched a series of reforms purporting to turn Argentina into the world's most liberal and prosperous economy. Less than twenty years later, the Argentinians have lost literally everything: major national companies have been sold well below value to foreign corporations; the proceeds of privatizations have been diverted into the pockets of corrupt officials; revised labour laws have taken away all rights from employees; in a country that is traditionally an important exporter of foodstuffs, malnutrition is widespread; millions of people are unemployed and sinking into poverty; and their savings have disappeared in a final banking collapse. The film highlights numerous political, financial, social and judicial aspects that mark out Argentina's road to ruin.
