Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam

A documentary crew from the BBC arrives in L.A. intent on interviewing Heidi Fleiss, a year after her arrest for running a brothel but before her trial. Several months elapse before the interview, so the crew searches for anyone who'll talk about the young woman. Two people have a lot to say to the camera: a retired madam named Alex for whom Fleiss once worked and Fleiss's one-time boyfriend, Ivan Nagy, who introduced her to Alex. Alex and Nagy don't like each other, so the crew shuttles between them with "she said" and "he said." When they finally interview Fleiss, they spend their time reciting what Alex and Nagy have had to say and asking her reaction.

Cool Water

21-year-old Keith Blauschild, formally trained in the culinary arts, is also a self-taught ice carver.

In this short documentary profile, Keith is filmed as he fashions a prototype (a sword-bearing warrior fighting a dragon) for an upcoming ice carving competition. At the contest site, the young man joins scores of other chainsaw-wielding sculptors busily freeing their creations from blocks of ice. Although Keith does not win a prize, his devotion to ice-carving remains intact. Moving from his home in New Jersey to a new life in Florida, Keith is featured as the "Person of the Week" on a Florida news broadcast

Creede U.S.A.

A documentary that explores the unexpected culture clash in Creede, Colorado—a remote mining town that invited a theater company in 1966 to revive its economy. What followed was a decades-long negotiation of identity, values, and belonging, as queer artists and progressive ideas took root in a place proud of its conservative heritage. With personal stories, tense town meetings, and reflections from original members like Mandy Patinkin, the film reveals how this tiny town became a powerful, poignant mirror of America’s larger divisions—and a testament to the complexity of living side by side.
