SIDE EFFECTS

Despondent over his divorce, Paul tries to take an overdose of sleeping pills.  But unknown to him, the young woman who works at the pharmacy secretly loves him and intercedes by giving him a placebo instead of his intended prescription.  When Paul tries to discover what really happened, he winds up finding there is a lot more in his world than he ever realized.  Including perhaps, a reason not to take the pills.

Born out of the adversity of the WGA Strike, a group of concerned and talented professionals came together to make Side Effects for STRIKE TV, a site dedicated to raising money for the Strike Relief Fund.  And so, we were able to assemble an amazing cast including Arye Gross (Ellen, Minority Report, For the Boys, Six Feet Under) and Amanda Tepe (Studio 60, Rob Zombie’s Halloween), and an equally remarkable crew.

Side Effects will premiere this fall on Strike TV after a very successful festival run that includes the Breckenridge, Nantucket and Palm Springs Film Festivals.

COME AS YOU ARE

Craig Dowd was flying high in the 1990’s. He went from class nerd to dot.com millionaire in a few short years. And now with the picture complete – he is about to marry the beautiful and sexy Kelli – he has invited his old college friends for a celebratory weekend-long reunion.

But things are not what they appear. Craig actually went bankrupt when the dot.com bubble burst. Deep in debt, knowing nothing but the Internet, he turned to the only profitable online business left – porn. His fancy house in the hills is actually a rental – used to shoot adult videos. And his fiancé is a former adult actress who is also his business partner.

Craig tries desperately to keep his college friends from discovering the truth. They are all so proud of his success, especially since their own lives have not exactly lived up to their youthful dreams. But as more and more strange couples arrive to shoot their videos, it becomes increasing difficult for Craig to keep his two worlds from colliding.
