The Making of Green Goblin's Last Stand: The Real Spider-Man - 60min
Dan Poole
www.alphadogproductions.net
Produced in Baltimore for under $500 in 1992, “The Green Goblin's Last Stand” was intended as a demo-reel for then Spider-Man director James Cameron, but soon became much more than that. Without the director, producer and star of the film, Dan Poole’s knowledge, over the years, copies of the video began showing up at comic book conventions, and on sale at Internet auction sites. Left with many questions to answer regarding the film’s origins, Poole put together this award-winning documentary that includes outtakes from the 14-month shoot along with footage from previous failed attempts. See "The Making of The Green Goblin's Last Stand" and uncover the secrets behind the death defying stunts, special effects and the steps that led to the best live action adaptation ever of Marvel Comics' most popular super hero!

Directed by Jessica Villines - 2003

Plaster Caster is an intimate documentary portrait of legendary artist and groupie, Cynthia Plaster Caster famous for plaster casting the penises of rock stars, including, most notoriously, Jimi Hendrix. The film explores how Cynthia developed her unique pursuit, follows the ups and downs of casting sessions with a shy guitarist and an extroverted glam rocker, and goes along for the ride as Ms. Caster prepares for her first gallery show in New York City. Featuring candid interviews with "castees," candidates, and commentators Noel Redding (The Jimi Hendrix Experience), Jello Biafra (The Dead Kennedys), Eric Burdon (The Animals), Pete Shelley (The Buzzcocks), Jon Langford (Mekkons), Wayne Kramer (MC-5), Paul Barker (Ministry), as well as author Camille Paglia and artist Ed Paschke, Plaster Caster goes beyond the mythology and asks the question, "is it really art?"

Ambition Withdraw
Directed by Jason Eustice
www.ambitionwithdraw.com
Shot over a fifteen-year period, Ambition Withdraw unleashes to the world the most dangerous rock band, The Unsatisfied.

This film reflects the reality of pursuing an unstoppable hunger and the drive of human spirit, while showing triumph’s continual downfall. Ambition Withdraw goes well beyond the average rockumentary by exposing the unglamorous side of real life: working, touring and raising a family. It also shows the determination of dealing with disappointments and disasters, as well as the drive--the drive that enslaves them to perform rock and roll.
