DUNE: PART TWO
The Conclusion to the Cautionary Tale of Paul Atreides’ Swift and Dangerous Rise to Power.
STORYLINE/PLOT SUMMARY: Dune: Part Two, based on the second half of Frank Herbert’s acclaimed novel, completes the cautionary tale of Paul Atreides’ swift and dangerous rise to power. Vengeance, prophecy, fervent followers and political manipulation ultimately lead Paul to abandon the formidable pull of love and his conscience to accept a fate he knows will destroy so much. In this epic conclusion, internationally acclaimed writer-director Denis Villeneuve dives deep into the psychological lure of power while expanding the story’s scope and scale. Villeneuve’s take on what many consider an unadaptable classic delivers a bold and artistic cinematic vision that pushes the boundaries of immersive storytelling.

HIS THREE DAUGHTERS
This tense, touching, and funny portrait of family dynamics follows three estranged sisters as they converge in a New York apartment to care for their ailing father and try to mend their own broken relationship with one another.
STORYLINE/PLOT SUMMARY: From writer-director Azazel Jacobs (French Exit, The Lovers) comes this bittersweet and often funny story of an elderly patriarch and the three grown daughters who come to be with him in his final days. Katie (Carrie Coon) is a controlling Brooklyn mother dealing with a wayward teenage daughter; free-spirited Christina (Elizabeth Olsen) is a different kind of mom, separated from her offspring for the first time; and Rachel (Natasha Lyonne) is a sports-betting stoner who has never left her father’s apartment — much to the chagrin of her stepsisters, who share a different mother and worldview. Continuing his astute exploration of family dynamics in close-knit spaces, Jacobs follows the siblings over the course of three volatile days, as death looms, grievances erupt, and love seeps through the cracks of a fractured home.
CAST & CREW: Starring Natasha Lyonne, Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen, Rudy Galvan, Jose Febus, with Jay O. Sanders and Jovan Adepo. Written, directed, and edited by Azazel Jacobs. The director of photography is Sam Levy, the production designer is Kendall Anderson, and the costume designer is Diaz Jacobs. The hair and makeup team is composed of Jane DiPersio and Christen Edwards. The film features an original score by composer Rodrigo Amarante and original song, “In Time,” by Rodrigo Amarante.
PRODUCTION / DISTRIBUTION: The film is produced by Azazel Jacobs, Alex Orlovsky, Duncan Montgomery, Matt Aselton, Marc Marrie, Mal Ward, Lia Buman, Tim Headington, and Jack Selby. The film was released by Netflix in theaters September 6 and on Netflix September 20. The film premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.

HIT MAN
He’s not a killer. But he can pretend.
STORYLINE/PLOT SUMMARY: Oscar-nominated director Richard Linklater’s sunlit neo-noir stars Glen Powell as strait-laced professor Gary Johnson, who moonlights as a fake hit man for the New Orleans Police Department. Preternaturally gifted at inhabiting different guises and personalities to catch hapless people hoping to bump off their enemies, Gary descends into morally dubious territory when he finds himself attracted to one of those potential criminals, a beautiful young woman named Madison (Adria Arjona). As Madison falls for one of Gary’s hit man personas — the mysteriously sexy Ron — their steamy affair sets off a chain reaction of play acting, deception, and escalating stakes. Co-written by Linklater and Powell and inspired by an unbelievable true story, Hit Man is a cleverly existential comedy about identity.
CAST & CREW: Hit Man stars Glen Powell, Adria Arjona, Austin Amelio, Retta, Sanjay Rao, Molly Bernard, Evan Holtzman, and Gralen Bryant Banks. The film is directed by Academy Award nominee Richard Linklater, and co-written by Linklater and Glen Powell. The director of photography is Shane F. Kelly, the production designer is Bruce Curtis, the costume designer is Juliana Hoffpauir and the editor is Sandra Adair, ACE.

IN 2017, I DIDN’T THINK ABOUT IT. Fire! And devastation. A ll the amazing roles of a lifetime would never have prepared me for this. Taxi D river, Mean Streets, The Silence of the Lambs. I'd lived the highs of a great career under the lights. Yet nothing held a candle to ever ything—past, present and future—consumed in a flash. When a wild fire set my life ablaze, I didn't think about how ruin is something no one plans. That day taught me newfound respect for love, compassion, caring, and the incalculable need for an organization like MPTF.
IN 2000, I DIDN’T THINK ABOUT IT.
I was 27, a showrunner for Dawson's C reek , when we shared the first passionate gay kiss with the world. I didn't think about how the support of an entire community, as we stepped across that line, would change me forever. So when I learned of MPTF's pledge to “take care of our own,” I got it. Being a part of this industr y is my greatest honor, and part of that honor is supporting all of the people who help bring it to life. Because that support, that love, that caring—it changes ever ything.

PIECE BY PIECE
An animated feature documenting the creative journey of cultural icon Pharrell Williams. Piece By Piece explores the evolution of an artist who tapped into his imagination to create some of music’s most innovative and memorable moments.
STORYLINE/PLOT SUMMARY: From Academy Award-winning director Morgan Neville comes a groundbreaking cinematic experience that tells the story of multi-hyphenate artist and producer Pharrell Williams. Before he would go on to redefine both the sound of popular music (with multi-platinum hits from “Drop It Like It’s Hot” to “Get Lucky” to “Happy”) and our style in the streets (via his own influential streetwear brand Billionaire Boys Club) and on the runways (as creative director of Louis Vuitton) for generations, Pharrell was just a restless kid living in the projects of Virginia Beach. Like any young dreamer, he felt like an outsider, uncertain about his differences — until he learned how to harness his individuality and turn it into his superpower. An animated biopic told entirely in LEGO animation, Piece By Piece tracks Pharrell’s journey in a fantasia of music, color, and life that affirms the universal truth that anyone from anywhere can build their dreams, brick by brick
