"Match Point" trailer Video

Video description: A one-time tennis pro, Chris Wilton (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) was used to falling just short in his life. But when he befriends Tom Hewett (Matthew Goode) and marries his sister, Chloe (Emily Mortimer), the doors are opened to the kind of money and success that Chris has once only dreamed of. Chris should have settled for happiness, but he is torn by his attraction to Tom's impossibly beautiful and sensual fiance, Nola (Scarlett Johansson). The attraction turns to an obsession that forces Chris to make a critical choice. Now everything in his life hinges on if Chris falls short again...and whether or not his luck runs out. "Match Point" is a drama about ambition, the seduction of wealth, love, and sexual passion. Perhaps most importantly, however, the story reveals the huge part luck plays in events, refuting the comforting misconception that more of life is under our control than really is. This movie was nominated for an Academy Award. Click here to see videos of other Oscar nominees on Download.com.

SF IndieFest trailer: "December Ends"

After his mother tragically dies, Chris' father falls apart and Chris turns to running drugs for pot dealer Hayden to make the rent payments. When he meets Audrey, Hayden's girlfriend who has been away at art school, he instantly falls for her.

Hayden expands his business into the cocaine trade, but he can't put his past addiction behind him and most of it goes up his own nose. One night he ODs and ends up unconscious in the hospital. Audrey and Chris spend that same night together.

With Hayden in the hospital, Chris's cousin and best friend Brian begins supplying his customers. When Hayden recovers and learns what Brian is doing, he demands a meeting. The meeting quickly turns into a fight and when Brian goes for his gun, Hayden grabs it and beats him over the head with it until he's unconscious. He then leaves Brian there, bleeding in the cold. Brian does not survive the night.

When Chris learns Hayden killed Brian, he knows he has to take revenge for his cousin's death and protect Audrey from a dangerous man. He goes to the New Year's Eve party where Hayden is dealing and looks for him. Audrey comes to the party as well, hoping to stop Chris. When she bursts into the room where a rival dealer is teaching Hayden a lesson, Hayden reaches for his gun and fires.

Chris hears the shots and runs to the room. Seeing only a bloody and frantic Hayden shaking Audrey, he raises his gun and does what he came to do.
