Feature
Margo finds that caring for her three cats fills the void of profound loneliness. Jenny, a real estate agent, uses her 16 cats as an excuse for not getting out there and finding love. Diane, a once-successful banker, fills her schedule by rescuing abandoned cats' But how many is too many? Callan-Jones presents the delicate balance of the 'cat lady' psyche, taking us beyond stereotypes to explore the extreme edge of pet ownership and deeply felt emotions. Might we all be just one 'cat' away from our own obsessive addiction? 'Silverdocs
Feature
October Country is a beautifully rendered portrait of an American family struggling for stability while'haunted by the ghosts of war, teen pregnancy, foster care and child abuse. This vibrant and intimate'documentary examines the forces that unsettle the working poor and the violence that lurks beneath the'surface of American life.'Shot over a year from one Halloween to the next, the 'lm uses rich visual metaphors and 'oats through'multiple storylines to present an all-American family: wholly unique, but also sadly representative of the'struggles of our working class.' Winner of the 2009 SILVERDOCS Grand Jury Prize
