The Big Pitch

A contemporary parable on the dangers of social media addiction, the story follows Marc and Peter, two young entrepreneurs on the cusp of greatness- or disaster- with a unique new app they've developed: Spotlight. With their partnership on a knife's edge, they prepare for the single biggest pitch they'll ever make, to a group of hungry venture capitalists.

County

The biggest secret in politics is the smallest office you could possibly run for. County is a documentary about County Committee—the fundamental building blocks of our democracy that our political Parties don’t want you to know about—and the activists in NYC fighting to unveil and reform a corrupt system within it.

Al Primo & His Eyewitness News Revolution

Once upon a time, your TV news report came from a white man sitting at a desk reading a script. That all changed when "Eyewitness News" took to the air in 1965. Al Primo's vision of news became the industry standard: a reporter-centric "eyewitness" multicultural ensemble resembling the community. Al Primo & His Eyewitness News Revolution documents the career and influence of the man who understood that people can tell their stories better than anyone else.
