- After Midnight is a collection of vampire shorts made by differing independent filmmakers from around the US. This is a sequel to Falcon Video's first vampire compilation titled "Around Midnight". Understanding the main wrap around story of After Midnight is a little hard to understand with the unintelligible dialog. What is understood is a woman picks up a book of "scary stories" involving vampires that she receives in the mail. The stories in the book are the segments through out the film. The first story, titled "I Want To Be A Vampire", is about a newspaper reporter who does a story on a woman claiming to be a vampire. Once he's in her dwelling however, they both receive a different surprise of their own. The second story is called "A Moment of Darkness". In 'Moment', a woman doctor is fascinated with vampires, logging on to vampire chat rooms, dancing at goth clubs. She finally meets one and learns how horrible it is to really be a vampire. Next story up is called "The Perfect Subject". In "Perfect Subject" a woman sells her body to grimy photographers so long as they "don't touch". When one of her photographers tries to get away with more then what her rules state; he finds himself in serious trouble. The final story actually has nothing to do with vampirisim, which is a tad confusing. It's called "No One Around". This short features underground horror icon Heidi Martinuzzi of Pretty-Scary and Horror Post fame. What I got from it was the world was ravaged by some kind of virus, and she's the last one left. It's like The Omega Man in a sense; basically she's the only one left alive, only without cool freaky mutants to encounter. This brings us back to the wrap around story...

- "The Trials of Darryl Hunt" is a feature documentary about a brutal rape/murder case and a wrongly convicted man, Darryl Hunt, who spent nearly twenty years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Both a social justice story and a personally driven narrative, the film chronicles this capital case from 1984 through 2004. With exclusive footage from two decades, the film frames the judicial and emotional response to a chilling crime - and the implications that reverberate from Hunt's conviction - against a backdrop of class and racial bias in the South and in the American criminal justice system. This documentary is the culmination of ten years of research and filming. In 1993, inspired by claims of injustice and police conspiracy, the filmmakers began to shoot in North Carolina. Working from a mix of formats (16mm and 24P video) the film melds the visceral reality of a murder case with first person accounts and cinematic imagery, illuminating perceptions and memories of events as they unfolded for the people closest to this haunting story. This unique look at one man's loss and redemption challenges the assumption that all Americans have the right to unbiased justice. Hunt's story - while one man's personal journey - reflects systemic issues of national concern: cross-racial eyewitness identification, prosecutorial misconduct, inexperienced defense attorneys assigned to capital cases, racial bias in death penalty cases and errors in police procedure. Barry Scheck from The Innocence Project, who worked on Hunt's case for ten years, and Gary Wells, professor and eyewitness expert, offer concrete examples where errors occurred in Hunt's saga and offer future remedies and effective ideas to prevent future "Darryl Hunts." Hunt himself addresses the need for systemic reforms to prevent wrongful convictions, underscoring the haunting reality that Hunt could have been sentenced to death and we would never have known this story.
