AIR BOSS NEW!
Reality/Flight • 13 x 30’ HD
Air Boss Wayne Boggs is your exclusive guide into the secret lives of air show stars. The adrenalin, the egos, the
ever-present risk of death! “Air Boss” takes viewers behind the scenes and into the souls of these otherwise
reclusive performers to uncover who they really are why they cheat death for our entertainment. Most air show
bosses and performers are former fighter pilots. They’ve been trained to be the best, and admittedly programmed
to be ruthless, unforgiving so-and-so’s. Accordingly, when an all too common difference of opinion occurs, fasten
your seatbelts… we’re in for some turbulence! Even when a show is going as planned, nature, mechanics, or dumb
luck can come into play… and the results can be disastrous. Each week, “Air Boss” follows Wayne as the show’s
focal point intermingling ruthless performer competitiveness, conflicting egos, spoiled brat millionaires, and the
constant risk of imminent death.

TELLING AMY’S STORY NEW!
True Crime • 1 x 60’ HD
‘Somebody call 911. I just shot Amy’ - Amy’s husband Vince, just after he stepped out

containing bottles, diapers and onesies lying beside her dead body. Lots of people
knew - but only small bits and pieces. Her husband was a ‘jerk.’ He hassled her coworkers. He always carried a gun, and he’d threatened her with death before. Her
murder was inevitable, but wasn’t apparent to anyone. Told by an impassioned police
detective through an exhaustive investigation, together with the courts, Amy’s friends,
and her family, ‘Telling Amy’s Story’ creates a disturbing, and exasperating picture of a
life that was.

I DIED NEW!
Social/Science • 1 x 60’ HD (13 x 30’ HD in development)
“I Died” is a stand-alone documentary and a docudrama series that brings to life the near death accounts of people
who where clinically dead, but lived to tell their stories. It presents the latest scientific research on the near death
experience phenomenon, and suggests possible answers to the age old question, “What happens to us when we die?”
Each episode focuses on three near death accounts that provide an emotional hook related to the episode’s theme.
Many who have had near death experiences believe that, for one brief moment, they were standing in the threshold of
another existence. For some, that moment has defined their purpose in life. Others, look to science for an explanation.
As different as these two types of people are, the thing they have in common is an opinion, often times a strong one, as
to whether there is life after death. Believe it or not, we might be getting closer to finding out the answer.

LANDMINE ER NEW!
Current Affairs • 1 x 60’ HD
Like many Cambodians 24 year old Satya Yorm had no choice but to build his home on
land contaminated by landmines. We meet him in the blood-soaked minutes as he
arrives at Emergency trauma hospital, following a tragic footstep that cost him his left
leg. In a split second, Satya has become the latest victim of a war he’s too young to
remember. Decades of professional clearance have increased landmine awareness to
an all time high, but nothing can prevent accidents like Satya’s, giving Cambodia one
of the highest amputee rates in the world.
Landmine ER was shot over two months with unprecedented access to Emergency’s
trauma rooms, documenting one mans physical and psychological journey as he
struggles to come to terms with life as an amputee. Examining the effects of war
trauma in post war Cambodia, Landmine ER offers an unflinching view of a weapon
that knows no ceasefire.
JAZZ DREAMS 2 NEW!

high school that graduated Wynton Marsalis, Nicholas Peyton, and Harry Connick Jr. We

incredibly valuable paintings. The paintings were considered national treasures by
Austria and were proudly displayed in Vienna’s Belvedere Museum for over 60 years.

culminating on September 25, 1993, when Andrew shot and killed his older sister’s
fiancé of eight years, Robert O’Dubaine, at Catherine’s bidding. Those closest to
Andrew expressed shock and disbelief: how could a young man with a promising
future allow himself to be convinced into committing murder? As the Suh’s complex
history unfolds, issues of cultural assimilation, traditional values and justice are
examined, raising questions of guilt, innocence and the illusive gray area in
between.
