Money, power, excess and fame, 1980s Dallas had it all. At the epicenter was the Starck Club; famous for its Philippe Starck design and infamous for its excessive party lifestyle.

Starck was the hottest and hippest nightclub of the decade. It was a wonderland of sophistication and the ultimate stimulation for the visual and aural senses. Like Studio 54 the decade before, Starck grew in the international consciousness to embody the overindulgent and glamorous 1980s.

This is the story of the Starck Club, told by the people who built it, lived it, loved it – lost it. From its explosive inception to its eventual crash, Starck symbolizes the phenomenon of the 80s: a decade lived as if there were no consequences.

In September 1994, communist guerrillas kidnapped Thomas Hargrove, an American scientist working in Colombia. MIRACLE FISHING is the story of his family’s harrowing 11-month ordeal to secure his release. Told from the family’s very personal perspective, the audience not only sees the direct negotiations with the guerrillas, the retrieval of hidden “drop” maps and the preparation of the ransom money but also the emotional impact the kidnapping has on their lives - living with the constant and realistic fear that their beloved father and husband may never return.

The filmmaker provides that insight by capturing the family’s torment, day-by-day, on home video. The filmmaker’s viewpoint is unique – he is Miles Hargrove, the hostages’ eldest son.

"Where were you in your educational journey the day the rebels came to your village?" is the question filmmaker Melonie Kastman poses to the citizens of Sierra Leone. The intent of the film is to educate and evoke a response to the challenges that Sierra Leoneans face every day in their work to rebuild after the utter destruction that took place during a brutal 11 year civil war.

This war effectively decimated the country and destroyed its infrastructure, leaving its people without hospitals, potable water, roads, banks, schools or mail service, but not without hope and a resilient zest for life. FORGOTTEN DIAMONDS communicates through personal stories not only the destruction of a senseless war but the struggles and triumphs they encounter in moving forward to rebuild their lives, and those they meet along the way.
