Comedy/Feature
An epic comedy about a mine-worker named Power whose love of drums and lack of musical skill has turned him into the ridiculed "air drummer" of his small town. But when Power's union-leader father calls a strike at the mine, Power discovers an underground subculture of air-drummers who just might hold the key to changing the world. Power's journey across America brings him face-to-face with his town's greatest enemy, and allows him to discover the beat within his own heart. *Recipient of Top-Rate U.S. Comedy award at Karlovy-Vary Film Festival *'Official Selection' - Sundance Film Festival *"WINNER" Audience Awards - Memphis & Vail Film Festivals

Feature
Inspired by a true story, THE BOYS ARE BACK is a deeply moving, wryly confessional tale of fatherhood that intimately evokes both the fragility and wonders of family life. It follows a witty, wisecracking,action-oriented sportswriter (Academy Award nominee Clive Owen) who, in the wake of his wife's tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood. With turbulent emotions swirling, Joe Warr throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: "just say yes." Raising two boys - a curious six year-old and a rebel teen from a previous marriage -- in a household devoid of feminine influence, and with an unabashed lack of rules, life becomes exuberant, instinctual, reckless . . . and on the constant verge of disaster. * 'Official Selection' - 2009 Toronto International Film Festival * Opens in theaters nationwide November 12 * Courtesy of Miramax Films * From director Scott Hicks (Shine, Snow Falling on Cedars & Hearts in Atlantis)
