The tenants of the coveted Carnegie Hall work-live studio spaces have their leases abruptly terminated by the Carnegie Hall Corporation, effectively disbanding the artistic community that has flourished there for over 100 years, and filmmaker Josef "Birdman" Astor captures the entire incident on film. Though few people realized the flats above Carnegie Hall even existed, the tight-knit artist's community thrived there throughout the 20th century. Back in the day, artists such as Marlon Brando and Paddy Chayefsky were tenants. It was always Andrew Carnegie's intention that the studios were a place where creativity would thrive. When greed threatens to take priority over Carnegie's original vision, the tenants band together in a bid to fight back and preserve a cherished piece of New York City history. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
A talented but troubled high-school rugby star gets a second shot at redemption after being sentenced to serve time in a Salt Lake City boys' home and landing a coveted spot on the famed Highland High School rugby team in this inspirational sports drama from director Ryan Little (Saints and Soldiers, Everything You Want). Rick Penning (Sean Faris ) was the star player on his Arizona rugby team until his life took a turn for the worse. Now, after a fateful brush with the law, Rick finds himself out of the spotlight and forced to ponder the consequences of his actions in a Salt Lake City juvenile detention center. As fate would have it, however, Salt Lake's famed Highland High rugby team could use a player like Rick. With a little help from coach Larry Gelwix (Gary Cole), Rick may even be able to lead the Highland High team to the national championships. When Rick discovers that the team they'll be competing against is none other than his old team from Arizona, which is coached by his father, Richard Penning (Neal McDonough), the deciding game takes on a newfound sense of gravity in the eyes of the ambitious young athlete.
