The Skinny Dip     (13 x 30' in HD) (in Production)

Travel/Adventure Series

Eve Kelly loves to swim - naked. In the best, most out-of-the-way swimming holes she can find; nature’s hidden grottos of cool clean water – magical playgrounds for the adventurous and the young of spirit. And she enjoys sharing her carefree immersions with other people – guys and girls from assorted backgrounds and walks of life. Our attractive and spirited 25 year old swimmer and hiker is not daunted by the demanding trek required to get to her chosen swimming spot. Quite to the contrary, for her, the hike, with its challenges and hazards is an invigorating adventure to enjoy to the fullest. Her challenge now is to find just the right bunch of adventurers to join her - it takes all of her will-power and enthusiasm, first to co-opt a group to accompany her on this difficult, even menacing trek, and then all of her personal charm to keep them on the trail once they encounter its physical challenges. And by the time the band of weary hikers arrive at the magic spot, there is no better group celebration than a plunge into the gorgeous, glassy smooth, natural pool under the trees, everyone naked, free and surrounded by nature at its best.


INJUSTICE    (13 x 30' in HD) 

Documentary Crime Series

InJustice is a crime series that looks and feels like no other crime series on television. Everything about the conventions of the typical documentary crime series have been turned upside down. Music, art, editing, photography, poetry, narration and special effects all serve to tell a story in a richly metaphoric and moving way. In the 500 channel universe, this series stands apart from every other crime series on television. Words like, ‘powerful’, ‘cinematic’, ‘bold’, ‘moving’, ‘dramatic’, ‘unique’, and ‘captivating’ have been used by many individuals to describe this series. Despite taking such a radical approach to production and post production, rich engaging story telling remains the primary concern of the production team. Many have said that InJustice ‘feels’ like a drama, even though it very clearly is a documentary series.
