- After a small-town film festival where the main characters, Mitch, Maynard and Cherie win absolutely nothing, both men wind up in jail for having stolen the Matricher Falls 3rd Annual Film Festival's "Grand Jury Ladle Prize" and Cherie joins up with a shady distribution company. After she becomes an investor, the two shady distributors get her to invest everything she owns in It's the Gravy Unlimited Film Distribution Company Unlimited (ITGU). Soon after she forms her partnership with Stankey and Kahn, the pair goes out of town, leaving Cherie with all their liabilities, and no assets. After she springs Maynard out of jail, the two mobilize some town folk to help them save the failing distribution company in an attempt to get whole. Much happens in the process: They hook up with some entrepreneurs, who front a children's lemonade stand, and two bogus Middle East investors. The new team is pressured and led to commit various crimes, not the least of which is to bootleg the town's 78 varieties of prized gravy and ship them across state lines. Their actions, innocent or not, lead to RICO charges. The entire group gets busted. Who gets off? Who doesn't? Well, in the end, everyone takes their lumps.
- The film keys in on the proverbial David vs. Goliath scenario when the filthy-rich land developer, Vivian Brechner, decides not to renew the lease on a bowling alley in a small town so that, together with a local avaricious tribal Indian chief, she can tear it down to make way for a gambling casino. What happens when the 52 people in Fountain Springs learn that Fountain Bowl-the "only thing they've got"-is teetering on destruction? Their community lifestyle, as they have known it, is about to come to an abrupt and tragic end. This is when the townsfolk get word in the Fountain Spray newspaper, and, all hell breaks loose! How could the fate of something as simple and innocent as a bowling alley get so complicated? Well, it just does. The story gets messy, tense, suspenseful and, oh, so very funny. In the end, we learn who will win. Who will lose. And who's got balls!
- In what appears to be her last show, a burned out sketch comedy writer/director shares a behind the scenes look at the "mounting and sustaining" of "Orange is the New Orange"; a sketch comedy show that skates on the edge of disaster. It's a look at "what could go wrong, that did go wrong." In this 90-minute mockumentary, Orange County Crazies founder Cherie Kerr finds herself in the middle of the most stressful production of her 40-year career. It starts with the first table read and takes the audience to the final curtain--the last night of the run.
- A film. A Dream. A Promising Ride on the Gravy Train. When the director and two of the male leads in the sketch stage show, "Orange is the New Orange," discover that the disgruntled and departed tech director had surveillance tape running before he walked out the door before curtain on opening night, they decide to cobble it together to create a documentary which they then submit to a number of film Festivals. Only one accepts them as an Official Selection: The Matricher Falls 3rd Annual Internationel Film Festival. There they get a taste of the indie film festival circuit, and the town's wide assortment of gravies. Three of the actresses from the stage show tag along to the film festival since each has been nominated for "Best Actress." One continues to look for the tall, dark and handsome "older" male celebrity she's promised she will be hooked up with, one throws a profane fit mid-awards ceremony when she doesn't win and the other ends the night walking off with Mumble Gang, an award-winning group of rappers, who no one can understand. In the end, the dismayed director and her two male cohorts get the real indie film festival experience, and the bragging rights to tasting gravies they really didn't order, or want.
- This full-length comedy features, Belle, the main character, who spends far too much time engrossed in her hand-held smart phone device. So much so, in fact, that she has been sued, fined, busted, and ultimately forced to hire a lawyer to keep her out of jail. Her latest incident caused the court to haul her back in once again. She knows she might be facing jail time. Her attempt to stay out of the slammer: That is where this story begins and where Belle's life takes a bizarre turn.There is an important lesson for everyone in this film: There are heavy penalties for smart phone users who do stupid things because of them. And, some pretty interesting consequences for those who break the law-or are there?
