State Organs: Unmasking Transplant Abuse in China
Two innocent young lives disappeared in police custody in China. Their desperate families embarked on a two-decade odyssey in search of the truth, uncovering a harrowing government-run organ harvesting crime that has destroyed thousands of lives, and igniting a grassroots movement that inspired a nation and the world. The powerful documentary explores how the rise of the Falun Gong movement caused deep jealousy in Chinese Communist Party Leader Jiang Ze-Min, and how that jealousy resulted in Falun Gong practitioners being directly targeted and subjected to forced organ harvesting. With the H.R. 4132 Falun Gong Protection Act recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, the documentary is not only timely, but a vital educational film on a devastating and ongoing issue.

A Long Island metal band, meets a mysterious director, Louis Lombardi (The Sopranos, Suicide Kings), on social media who offers to record their first music video for free. The band is desperate for fame. They take him up on his offer and drive to the woods of Pennsylvania, hoping to make a killer video. After a night of drinking with the gregarious, obsequious director, the band wakes up to find a different version of him on set. Egos and opinions clash, and the director unveils an uncompromising need for control. After a brief alteration, the band takes a break and and thinks about returning home, but they decide they've come too far to turn back now and return to film, only to be trapped and tortured by a psychopath director and his killer friend. One by one, the director lures them into the performance space to torture them and make them star in his snuff music video.
