Cameron Kincaid, a rebellious teenager, constantly getting into trouble, is at odds with his mother and his constantly deriding harsh stepfather.

Cameron pursues his filmmaking dream when he enters a prestigious student competition, set up over Christmas vacation, which offers the winner a scholarship to the
Cameron enlists the assistance of a reluctant retired gaffer named Flash, the only surviving crew member from the legendary film, "Citizen Kane." Flash taps into the unused talent of his elderly retired filmmaker friends at the Motion Picture Retirement Home, persuading them to help Cameron with his film.
Among Flash's friends is Mickey Hopkins, a forgotten, geriatric retired screenwriter, living in a squalid, rat-infested home for the aged. Flash approaches Mickey to write the screenplay for Cameron's new movie, but an excited yet terrified Mickey fears that he has lost his magic touch with story. Mickey's confidence is restored when Cameron comes to him for help and shows Mickey how he has not been forgotten on IMDB.
Cameron's new surrogate family and unlikely senior citizen production team winds up filming an award worthy documentary about the plight of the nation's elderly. During the course of the filming, Cameron's life has been transformed through his mentor and friend Flash, who in turn, rediscovers his dignity and can finally accept his fate peacefully.

Strength And Honor
Michael Madsen (Olivier Assayas' upcoming BOARDING GATE, KILL BILL, RESERVOIR DOGS) stars as Sean Kelleher, an Irish-American boxer who accidentally kills his friend in the ring and promises his wife that he will never box again. However, years later, when he discovers that his only son is dying of the same hereditary heart disorder which has taken his wife, he is forced to break his promise in order to raise the substantial funds need for the surgery that could save his son's life. The grieving boxer must battle his arch rival Smasher O'Driscoll (Vinnie Jones, X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, SNATCH), with the help of his boxing coach (Richard Chamberlain, I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY, "The Thorn Birds").
