Take a Closer Look

Kimberly Nicole

Sinossi

Thirty-nine year old Ann has many questions and fears about the world, and usually just tries to repress them. She has just moved downtown and is afraid to walk anywhere after dark, but with her new job at the liquor store, she tries to overcome this fear since she thinks it's silly to drive her car three blocks. She avoids eye contact with people on the street and enjoys her life of solitude.
Ann throws aside her reserved nature to befriend her forty-nine year old neighbor, Tee, and the two discover they both have questions about the world. While getting to know each other through activities such as playing basketball and chess, many topics come up, from celebrity drama to history to politics, and even some things that could be considered conspiracies. Tee and Ann develop feelings for each other, but Tee doesn't want Ann to meet her ten-year-old daughter yet due to a bad experience in a past relationship. The two must meet while Lana is either in school or in bed. 
Will Ann and Tee's relationship grow stronger, or will their disparate learning styles hinder them? Is Ann really safe working at the liquor store? Will she learn how to overcome her fears, or end up with more questions than answers?

Don Bachardy - An Artist's Life

Michael Schreiber, Simon Callow,...

A figure as fascinating as any of his celebrated subjects, Don Bachardy has lived an extraordinary life at the heart of Hollywood, literary, and artistic circles. His drawings and paintings reside in museums throughout Europe and the United States, and include portraits of movie stars, writers, artists, and public and private figures of every background—from Bette Davis and Joan Crawford to Tennessee Williams and Truman Capote—all rendered in a candid, expressive style. 
 
 
 
In this unique oral biography, Bachardy recounts his astonishing story, providing illuminating recollections of celebrity portrait sittings and revelations about his thirty-year relationship with Christopher Isherwood. From their meeting in the 1950s until Isherwood's death in 1986, theirs was a legendary love story, courageous and uncompromising for its time, and remarkable in any era for the creative collaborations and art it continues to inspire. 
 
 
 
Drawn from one-on-one interviews and conversations conducted at the Santa Monica home Bachardy shared with Isherwood, Michael Schreiber has crafted a biography unlike any other, filled with tantalizing celebrity tales set against the backdrop of Bachardy's artistic and personal journey. Wise, warm, and unflinching, this is a fresh and revealing portrait of a life lived with boundless bravery, curiosity, and love.

Platonic Rulebook

Saxon James

Griff: 
Walking away from my marriage was my idea of a fresh start. 
My kid is in college, my ex-wife and I are on good terms … but being single in my forties is a world different to being single in my teens. 
I’m thankful for my best friend, Heath. He’s got my back like he always does and is ready to take me out and show me how the bachelor life is done. 
He was never supposed to show me literally. 
After we wake up in bed together, I can’t stop looking at him differently, and one thing becomes abundantly clear. 
I talk a big talk about wanting to be single, but my platonic rule book has gone out the window. 
Heath: 
When my best friend comes to me for help post-divorce, I’m only too happy to impart my wisdom to him. 
After all, Griffin isn’t my type, but even I can tell he’s a complete lumbersnack. Good with his hands, kind eyes, and a killer smile. All the guys and gals are gonna eat him alive. 
But the more time we spend together, the less “not my type” he becomes. I’m the one who can’t get enough of him. 
Neither of us is interested in a relationship, so what’s a little fun between friends? 
We both know the score.
