FILM
ASWIM, a short film produced by TigerBear Productions
- Inspired by John Cheever's classic short story "The Swimmer" and its 1968 feature film adaptation by Frank Perry, SWIMMER imagines an encounter between a single, Palm Springs retiree whose comfortable life and home there are both refuge and trap and the stranger who comes to his sudden aid at a moment of need.
HERE WE ARE, a feature film produced by Magical Iguana Productions, in association with Mika Productions and TigerBear Productions
- A timely new feature from Emmy® nominated director BILLY CLIFT, starring MEL ENGLAND (Best Day Ever), WIL J. JACKSON (Law and Order), Academy Award® Nominee & Golden Globe® winner SALLY KIRKLAND (Anna), CHRISTINE ELISE (Chucky), GREGORY ZARIAN (Westworld) and ELIZABETH REGEN (Whoopi).
- Written by England, Clift and Jackson, HERE WE ARE is a moving and personal portrait of overcoming racism -- and the decades of personal and political turmoil facing LGBTQ+ people still today.
- When Phil meets John, sparks fly. The interracial Gay couple discover a deep connection, in spite of not-so-subtle racism from family -- and even their friends. When the pandemic hits in a world in turmoil, Phil loses his mom to conspiracies and booze, while John finally comes out to his conservative family, and together with their friend Karen, a single mom who lives next door, they create a family of their own -- and discover a long-lost truth... who they really are.
