GOLDEN BLADE III: RETURN OF THE MONKEYâ€™S UNCLE
(USA 91 mins)
Directed by TJ Wiedow
Golden Blade III - Return of the Monkey's Uncle... Kung Fu Comedy created and filmed in Asheville, NC. Our hero, Chen Zen is faced with the challenge of protecting the magical Golden Blade from falling into the hands of the evil Mala Wang. The overdubs are done poorly on purpose to give it the feel of a real kung fu movie... and the subtitles are also misspelled on purpose to add to the comedy. Low Budget as hell, yet funny and professional for DV movie making. 'Best way to win fight... No Be There.'

THIS IS NOT THE SOUTH
(USA 85 mins)
Directed by Derek Davidson
As they explore the beauty and complexity of the Appalachian city of Bristol, which bestrides two states, three friends realize that they have a lot more to learn from each other than they had originally thought. With a backdrop of Nascar, a Magritte painting, the Confederate flag, and a lot of stolen soda, they find that defining themselves and each other is a much more complex and ultimately rewarding attempt than it first seemed.
