Video description: "freezerburn" is a cinepoem (cinematic poetry) by San Francisco writer LaDonna Witmer. Inspired by news stories about the California forest fires of 2004, "freezerburn" addresses the themes of isolation, loneliness, and the absence of passion. The narrator can see the whole world but feels set apart, frozen. "The world is on fire, but it leaves me cold..." Freezerburn was shot in San Francsico by videographer and editor Michelle M. Brown.

"Separate Lies" trailer

"Separate Lies" is a compelling, humor-tinged romantic mystery that is not so much a "who done it" as an exploration of the riddle of why people make the fatal errors they do - in life, in marriage and when their decisions count the very most. By exposing the raw inner world of an ideal-seeming marriage that has fallen into peril in the wake of a crime, the film weaves themes of secrecy, betrayal and forgiveness through a driving narrative and intense performances focused on uncovering the primal human truths that can lie beneath the most placid surfaces. From Julian Fellowes, the academy award-winning writer of "Gosford Park". Starring Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson, and Rupert Everett.

Prophet Omega: "The Right Thing"

Until recently, Joe Magistro was an affable, unassuming rock drummer who could often be seen manning the traps in the rock clubs of New York City. Then he underwent a startling metamorphosis into multi-tasking one-man D.I.Y. mastermind Prophet Omega, who makes an appropriately visionary entrance with his Astralwerks debut The Natural World. Recorded in makeshift home studios in a Brooklyn apartment and a rented cabin in the rustic isolation of New York's Catskill mountains, The Natural World is a one-of-a-kind magnum opus whose 13 lovingly crafted tracks combine a freewheeling sonic sensibility with abundant melodic hooks and generous doses of old-school rock and soul beats. Magistro mines an array of real and sampled instruments and a ramshackle assortment of found sounds, stitching disparate elements into seamlessly funky epics that combine over-the-top sonic inspiration with tightly constructed, lyrically thoughtful songcraft.
