Shadowboxer (2005) -- When Rose, a female assassin, is diagnosed with terminal cancer; she decides to carry out one final killing, assisted by lover and also stepson, Mickey.
My Big Break (2009) -- In this unflinching documentary, director Tony Zierra captures the surprising changes in the lives of his aspiring actor roommates over ten years. Incredibly, three of them get their Big Break when he's filming, while the fourth is nearly destroyed by watching the others become stars. "My Big Break" is a rare look at how people can be changed forever, but not necessarily for better, when their dreams come true.
