Last Ninety Minutes in the Life of Nikola Tesla, The

Synopsis:
In the last ninety minutes of his life, Nikola Tesla is visited by the ghosts of theoretical physicists past, present and future who guide him through his life. Examining his guilt in helping bring the electric chair into existence, the loves who have gotten away and the life he could have lead, had he let himself be content with the world around him, Tesla wonders what life would have been like to be normal. Not one, but five actors play Tesla. With cameos by Christian Huygens, Max Planck, Stephen Hawking, Mark Twain and Huckleberry Finn, Tesla and friends contemplate technology, life, God and existence.

Sixty-9/11

Synopsis:
Entrepreneurial producer Felix Habbernathy finds the means to produce an erotic film based on the events of the September 11th tragedy in a last-ditch effort to save the company. Faced with protests, death threats, and bomb scares, the movie perseveres to incredible reviews and sales. The company is saved but must continue to make movies that push the envelope into uncharted and dangerous territory: new films about other atrocities. Finally, faced with a new tragedy and the concern of eroticizing all tragedies, Felix reconsiders what it means to profit off of the pain and suffering of others.
