Video description: "Inside Tourette's Syndrome" provides an unsurpassed view into the disorder Gilles de la Tourette syndrome. The documentary features six individuals with TS and is produced by a person with Tourette's. Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by unwanted movements and vocalizations called "tics." However, tics are merely the visible and audible manifestations of a complex and powerful force that cannot be witnessed by an observer. In this documentary, the inner symptoms of Tourette syndrome are revealed and openly discussed by people who experience them every day. How does it feel to tic? Why can't a person stop ticcing? What causes vocal outbursts and other extreme tics? Are motor and vocal tics truly involuntary? What is going on inside one's mind during obsessions and compulsions? These questions are answered in detail and much more is revealed about this mysterious disorder as six indivduals with TS take the audience far into the Tourettic mind.

The Ataris: "Not Capable Of Love"

"Not Capable of Love" combines bracing Pixies-style fuzz guitar with a buoyant bass line reminiscent of the Cure and builds to a soaring chorus scratched by aching vulnerability; "Cardiff-By-The-Sea" resounds with melancholy pop hooks, but echoes with ominous warbling guitars redolent of My Bloody Valentine and Swervedriver. "And We All Become Like Smoke" reveals still another side of the Ataris, incorporating angular guitars, tendrils of feedback, pastel color washes and yearning vocals that bring to mind The Bends-era Radiohead.

"Meditate and Destroy" trailer

"Meditate and Destroy" is a feature-length documentary that will provide an intimate portrait of Noah Levine, a Buddhist meditation teacher who uses his personal experience and punk rocker sensibilities to teach meditation in juvenile halls, high security prisons, and urban centers around the country. After a self-destructive adolescence of criminal activity and substance abuse, Noah now follows and shows others a path of spirituality and community service. Noah has a familiar counter-culture appearance; his arms are fully tattooed, he has gold teeth, and wears black t-shirts of his favorite bands. It seems a strange juxtaposition, however, to discover he is both a punk rocker and a devout Buddhist. "Meditate and Destroy" will fill a void in the media by exploring how the younger generations in America -- sometimes characterized as apathetic and self-involved-- are finding a positive way to channel rebellion and dissatisfaction. Through the story of Noah Levine, our film will help raise an important discussion on the meaning of spirituality among today's youth, personal identity, the punk rock ethos, and addiction recovery. "Meditate and Destroy" will not take a position that asserts Noah is an "enlightened guru" or somehow "holier than thou". This documentary aims to keep a reflective stance, acknowledging through an objective look at Noah's life that his transformation is ongoing. We won't sidestep the difficult questions for easy answers. Instead, our diverse portrait of Noah will allow viewers to reflect on what makes a former criminal become a peace-loving spiritual practitioner.
