GHOSTS OF EDENDALE
Writer-director Stefan Avalos follows up his indie frightfest THE LAST BROADCAST with another meta inquiry into the symbiotic relationship between filmmaking and reality. Recovering from a mental breakdown, former model Rachel (Paula Ficara) and her boyfriend Kevin (Stephen Wastell) move to Los Angeles to pursue careers in screenwriting. Obsessive about Tinseltown history, the movie-buff couple rent a comfortable bungalow in the hillside community of Edendale, an east Hollywood enclave that was witness to the horrific accident death of a silent-era movie star nearly 80 years ago. But as Kevin`s feverish work on a Western screenplay immerses him more and more in the insulated world of his own obsession--a la Jack Nicholson`s iconic turn in THE SHINING--Rachel begins suffering from writer`s block and nightmarish visions of ghostly possessions that threaten both her sanity and her life.

On_Line
Jed Weintrob`s ON_LINE is a high-tech dramedy about webcam voyeurism and those who live life--and hope to find love--through the Internet. Roommates John (Josh Hamilton) and Moe (Harold Perrineau) run the live erotic website Intercon-X from the confines of their Manhattan apartment. The profitable business puts the roommates into contact with a variety of Internet denizens whose alienation leads them to the virtual sex chatrooms: fantasy girl Jordan (Vanessa Ferlito); depressed artist Moira (Isabel Gillies); all-male revue host Al (John Fleck); and a suicidal gay teen from Ohio named Ed (Eric Millegan). But what starts out as random connections between anonymous strangers develops into flesh and blood drama as the lonely netizens pursue real-life relationships that blur the worlds of fantasy and reality. Utilizing state-of-the-art digital technology, split screens, and streaming webcam video, ON_LINE puts a postmodern spin on the timeless story of humans searching for love and happiness.
