The Order
In 1983, a series of increasingly violent bank robberies, counterfeiting operations and armored car heists frightened communities throughout the Pacific Northwest. As baffled law enforcement agents scrambled for answers, a lone FBI agent (Jude Law), stationed in the sleepy, picturesque town of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, came to believe the crimes were not the work of traditional, financially motivated criminals but a group of dangerous domestic terrorists, inspired by a radical, charismatic leader (Nicholas Hoult), plotting a devastating war against the federal government of the United States.

Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary (Max)
Chronicles the emergence and popularity of the West Coast, soft rock pop culture epitomized by musical artists such as Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Steely Dan, and Toto. Retroactively dubbed Yacht Rock in 2005 by a parody website series, the easy listening, relaxing sounds of the late 1970s and early 1980s, which were beloved by many, came to be gently mocked and even dismissed by rock lovers and critics, but have since reclaimed their legitimate place in music history and are celebrated in this groove-infused film.

A 4 part documentary, Selling Superman follows a 40 year family secret that only a few people knew about. Darren's father had a hidden Asperger's disorder that drove an obsessive yet genius collecting of comic books, causing great trauma, overtaking a home and destroying a family.

This includes his father's most prized possession: a Superman #1 (7.0) valued at over $3.5 Million, making it one of the most expensive comic books of all time. He faces off with the adventure of Selling Superman (and the whole collection), with his comic fanatic long time friend Brian by his side. But Darren is still picking up the pieces of his childhood, trying to rewrite a family legacy, and hopefully discover the heroic power within: that we can choose how we perceive life and value ourselves.
