SUMMARY:Eleven Minutes
DESCRIPTION:It's been two years since quick-witted Jay McCarroll was anoi
 nted the winner of Project Runway's first season. Eleven Minutes catches
  up with Jay as he pulls together his first collection in preparation fo
 r New York Fashion Week. The designer is a blast to watch\, fresh and jo
 yous despite stress\, uncertainty and tremendous pressure. At the end of
  the day Jay is doing what he loves\, but the realization of a dream is 
 often not as exciting or glamorous as the dreaming itself. We watch Jay 
 transform from a one-man DIY operation into a mass-producing\, Chinese o
 ut-sourcing business machine. Eleven Minutes captures that special momen
 t in time before things get jaded and blasé. A hilarious and irreverent 
 look at the creative process and the friction between commerce and art\,
  fame and talent\, reality-TV and actuality.\n-Angie Driscoll

SUMMARY:Sex Positive
DESCRIPTION:Sex Positive explores the life of Richard Berkowitz\, a revol
 utionary gay S&M hustler turned AIDS activist in the 1980s\, whose incom
 parable contribution to the invention of safe sex has never been aptly c
 redited. Berkowitz emerged from the epicenter of the epidemic demanding 
 a solution to the problem long before those both within and outside of t
 he gay community would take heed. However\, it was not Berkowitz's voice
  alone that sparked contention. Dr. Joseph Sonnabend\, a controversial v
 irologist and AIDS doctor\, postulated that AIDS was more complicated th
 an just a new virus. With Sonnabend's theory in tow\, Berkowitz fought\,
  alongside beloved activist and musician Michael Callen\, for safer sex 
 practices with out giving up on sex altogether. Sex Positive explores th
 e explicit bravery of this unrecognized triumvirate\, and their dire que
 st to save lives in the midst of unwavering dissent. Through the eyes of
  Mr. Berkowitz\, we are made witness to a graphic testimony of sex\, dea
 th\, and betrayal\, placing the invention of safe sex in a fresh and com
 pelling context. Now destitute and alone\, Mr. Berkowitz tells his story
  to a world who never wanted to listen.
