When a spirit visited the bedroom of eight-year-old boy Jack McKey and carried him to a mountaintop at the end of the world, the young man’s life veered toward primitivism. He later discovered hidden skills inside himself for making birch bark canoes and sheep horn bows. Ultimately, it would drive him to a life in the wilderness and the most devastating decision of his life – to leave his young son behind.

“Blood, Bone and Stone” tells the story of McKey’s journey from his adoption into a privileged family in South Georgia to his life as a mountain man in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. His friends call him a man born out of time. He has hunted bison with a hand-made sheep horn bow – and he is one only a handful of people who can make such a weapon. But he also crafts incredible horse lances, stone knives and war clubs in the styles of ancient North America natives.

The film follows McKey as he eventually reunites with his son, nearly 40 years after leaving him behind. And it follows the two as they travel to Chief Mountain, the site in Montana where the spirit carried McKey as a child and prophesied that the world would end if he set foot there again.

“David Mirisch, The Man Behind the Golden Stars,” is a feature documentary about the life of revered press agent David Mirisch (known as “The Man with the Gold Rolodex”), whose family founded the legendary Mirisch Film Company and produced classically acclaimed movies such as “Some Like It Hot,” “West Side Story,” “Moby Dick,” and “Fiddler on The Roof.”

With over a 50-year career in entertainment, David carved out a name for himself as a key publicist for some of Hollywood’s most elite stars. He personally discovered Farrah Fawcett when she was still just a student at the University of Texas, threw infamous and lavish parties for basketball great Wilt Chamberlain, created campaigns for some of the most beautiful and talented young actresses that went on to ignite the silver screen, such as Linda Carter, Raquel Welch, and Barbara Hershey. He was instrumental in public relation campaigns for such musical legends as Johnny Mathis, Pat Boone, The 5th Dimension, and Perry Como.

The documentary exposes the “Golden Age Era” of Hollywood and what it really took to create a star then and now, and the instrumental role a publicist plays in advancing careers, especially artists just starting out in the industry.

What makes David Mirisch’s story even more remarkable is his humanitarian contributions, responsible for raising over $35 million for charitable organizations and nonprofits, organizing more than 2,500 celebrity events and fundraisers. This documentary exemplars how celebrities can harness their star power to generate awareness to unknown and worthy causes, and help touch lives in an all encompassing and perpetuating domino effect. The documentary touches on the theory that one action is not just “a single drop in the ocean,” their cumulative effect can make a positive change in the world as a whole.

THE GIRL WHO WORE FREEDOM brings us to Normandy, France. Once an idyllic landscape, Normandy had succumbed to German invaders who overran its farms, its manors, its countryside.

Here we meet Dany Patrix, Maurice Lecoueur, Henri-Jean Renaud, and others, who recount their unique relationships with the Allied forces who liberated Normandy on June 6, 1944. The journey from occupation to liberation, to acceptance and forgiveness to gratitude and pride, is explored through interviews with French survivors and American veterans in this powerful, personal film that tells stories handed down over two generations.

We visit Brecourt Manor, the site of the battle between the men of Easy Company - known as the Band of Brothers - and a German battery. We hear from the children of D-Day, who were cared for by American soldiers after their families were killed in the onslaught. We explore the nature of war, of forgiveness, of gratitude through interviews with French survivors and American veterans.

We travel today’s United States with Flo Plana, who seeks out the men of the 101st Airborne Division to collect and curate their stories for the Utah Beach D-Day Museum. We meet veterans like Ceo Bauer, Brad Freeman, and Bob DeVinney, who recount their experiences and the relationships they built over the summer of 1944.

Normandy itself is now a living war museum, with shrapnel on the beaches, bullet holes in its walls, and blood staining its church pews. Those that were there have vowed never to forget the lessons of World War II and to pass down the value of freedom to their children and their children’s children.

The film closes on contemporary D-Day celebrations of remembrance and gratitude, where French citizens of all ages celebrate those who were and are willing to defend freedom because they, the people of Normandy, know all too well that freedom is not free.
