Jesse heads off to college where he takes advantage of the incredible ratio of 6 girls to every guy. It is there that this boy undergoes a transformation. It’s where he meets Lara (Radha Mitchell, Finding Neverland) and learns to take command of the stage. As a college grad back in New York, during a spur of the moment local comedy night performance infused with his own style of in your face bits on sex, Jesse is discovered by agent Stoddard (Ally Sheedy, The Breakfast Club) who says she has found the next Latino sensation. Moments later he meets Zowie (Rosie Perez, Fearless & ABC’s The View), a sexy Nuyorican poetess and passionate lover in search of a man who will take her to the top of the industry.

THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING
Starring Eddie Redmayne (“Les Misérables”) and Felicity Jones (“The Amazing Spider-Man 2”), this is the extraordinary story of one of the world’s greatest living minds, the renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, who falls deeply in love with fellow Cambridge student Jane Wilde. Once a healthy, active young man, Hawking received an earth-shattering diagnosis at 21 years of age. With Jane fighting tirelessly by his side, Stephen embarks on his most ambitious scientific work, studying the very thing he now has precious little of – time.

The film is based on the memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen, and is directed by Academy Award winner James Marsh (“Man on Wire”).
THE BETTER ANGELS
At an isolated log cabin in the harsh wilderness of Indiana circa 1817, the rhythms of love, tragedy, and the daily hardships of life on the developing frontier shaped one of our nation’s greatest heroes: Abraham Lincoln. Abe is a thoughtful and quiet boy who spends his days at the side of his beloved mother (Brit Marling) while learning to work the land from his stern father (Jason Clarke). When illness takes his mother, Abe’s new guardian angel comes in the form of his new stepmother (Diane Kruger), who sees the potential in the boy and pushes for his further education.
Produced by Terrence Malick and filmed in glorious black and white cinematography, The Better Angels sheds new light on the little-explored formative years of the legendary president as well as the women who shaped him into one of most revered men in US history. Based on interviews with Lincoln’s family members, The Better Angels is a beautiful, insightful, and brilliantly composed feature debut from Malick’s creative protégé, A.J. Edwards.
