PAY DIRT
Supercross. A sport born in 1972 by a man now serving a double-life sentence without the possibility of parole for murdering his ex-business partner Mickey Thompson and his wife. He’s just one character in this feature documentary that includes the biggest names in Supercross, past and present. Pay Dirt takes you on a wild ride through the most underappreciated, demanding, dramatic motorsports on the planet. Narrated by Josh Brolin and directed by two-time Emmy-winning filmmaker Paul Taublieb, Pay Dirt captures the essence of the sport where passion meets commitment, relying on the twin pillars of cinematic camera work and deep archival research combined with in-depth interviews of Hall of Fame legends Jeremy McGrath, Bob Hannah, Ricky Johnson, and Ricky Carmichael. .

THE LAST JOURNEY
THE LAST JOURNEY follows Filip Hammar’s father Lars, who is retiring after 40 years as a beloved French teacher in Koping, Sweden. But instead of a “third age” with travel, wine and experiences together with his wife, he becomes passive and tired. Filip and his best friend Fredrik, take Lars to his beloved France and let him revisit the places he loves. By making the same road trip that the family used to make when Filip was a child, and staging some of his father’s fondest memories (often with hilarious consequences), they hope to rekindle Lars’ spark. .

Katherine has done everything she can to push for a new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs. When an increasingly ailing and paranoid King returns, he turns his fury on the radicals, charging Katherine's childhood friend with treason and burns her at the stake. Horrified and grieving, but forced to deny it, Katherine finds herself fighting for her own survival. Conspiracy reverberates through the palace. Everyone holds their breath - for the queen to slip up, for Henry to take her head like wives before. With the hope for a future free of tyranny at risk, will Katherine submit to the inevitable for the sake of King and country?. .
