The Colyer Brothers at Home & Period Piece
Meet America's most famous recluses, the Collyer Brothers, in their legendary NYC brownstone -- packed with 136 tons of collectibles including fourteen pianos, an X-ray machine, a horse-drawn carriage and a labyrnith of newspapers. Based on a true story from the annals of New York City history, THE COLLYER BROTHERS AT HOME brings to life the compelling and darkly funny tale of withdrawal, suspicion and eccentric bravado that pits two personalities against the march of time.

Companion to THE COLLYER BROTHERS, PERIOD PIECE features two veteran character actors desperately competing for the spotlight. A comedic coupling, both pieces explore extraordinary relationships, the buzz of celebrity and its ultimate price.

an inconvenient truth
Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.

If that sounds like a recipe for serious gloom and doom -- think again. From director Davis Guggenheim comes the Sundance Film Festival hit, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, which offers a passionate and inspirational look at one man's fervent crusade to halt global warming's deadly progress in its tracks by exposing the myths and misconceptions that surround it. That man is former Vice President Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in the 2000 election, re-set the course of his life to focus on a last-ditch, all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable change. In this eye-opening and poignant portrait of Gore and his "traveling global warming show," Gore also proves himself to be one of the most misunderstood characters in modern American public life. Here he is seen as never before in the media - funny, engaging, open and downright on fire about getting the surprisingly stirring truth about what he calls our "planetary emergency" out to ordinary citizens before it's too late. Please see website for time and price.
