Assistance

Synopsis:
For these young assistants, life is an endless series of humiliations at the hands of their hellacious boss, a powerful uber-magnate. In rare moments of calm when the phone calls stop rolling, Nick and Nora and their traumatized co-workers question whether all their work will lead to success - or just more work. Leslye Headland's assistance is a biting, high-octane satire about our attraction to power and what we're willing to sacrifice to stay in its orbit.

Cinephilia

Synopsis:
Set in a small apartment in Williamsburg, Cinephilia examines the world of two lost and lonely twentysomething lovers, Johnny and arden. In the midst of spending yet another night together-an on and off trend for 4 years-the two cinephiles cling to their obsessions with film and sex as a way to validate their relationship, even their existence. Movies are their drug, their escape, and their salvation, whether it's Reds, Kill Bill, Breathless, or Rushmore. as we all know: Loving movies is easy. . .loving people is hard."
