Clean (2021) is an action/thriller, produced, written by and starring Oscar © winner Adrien Brody. Tormented by his criminal past Clean (Adrien Brody – The Pianist) attempts a quiet life caring for his community as a sanitation worker and as a mentor to his young neighbour Dianda. When local gang violence puts his neighbour’s life in danger and finds him at odds with the town mafia boss (Glen Fleshler - Joker), Clean finds himself returning to his violent past and seeks the help of his only friend (RZA – American Gangster) to save his neighbour and possibly achieving salvation in the process.

Last Son (2021) aka The Last Son of Isaac Lemay is a gritty western with a very strong cast; including Sam Worthington (Avatar 2), Colson Baker (aka Machine Gun Kelly), Thomas Jane (The Predator) and Heather Graham (Boogie Nights).
Isaac LeMay (Worthington), learns from a soothsayer that he is cursed and will be killed by one of his children. To prevent the curse from coming true, he tracks down his spawn, whose bloodlines are confirmed by a hereditary birthmark, eventually finding his son Cal (Machine Gun Kelly), who is on a murdering rampage. With bounty hunters and the sheriff on their tail, LeMay must find a way to stop his son and end the curse. The deal was agreed between JD Beaufils for VMI and Steve Davey for 101 Films.
Wyrmwood: Apocalypse (2022) is the long-awaited sequel to the Aussie indie gorefest from 2014. Brother and sister duo Barry (Jay Gallagher) and Brooke (Bianca Brady) have joined forces with fellow rebels – sisters Maxi (Shantae Barnes-Cowan) and Grace (Tasia Zalar). When Grace is captured by soldier Rhys (Luke McKenzie) and delivered to The Colonel (Jake Ryan) and his villainous leader, The Surgeon (Nicholas Boshier), Maxi and her new rebel friends must slaughter their way to her rescue. The deal was agreed between Tatyana Joffe for XYZ and Steve Davey for 101 Films / HeadGear Films.
Easy Does It (2019) is a quirky crime/thriller starring Terminator legend Linda Hamilton, as you’ve never seen her before! Two dimwitted buddies, Jack and Scotties, embark on a cross-country adventure from Mississippi to California in pursuit of some buried treasure and the American Dream. Broke and desperate, these two not-so-natural-born killers somehow stumble into national notoriety as public enemies number one and two by robbing their way through America, accidentally kidnapping a hostage, killing a cop, and getting the deranged bounty huntress King George (Hamilton) hot on their trail. They get more than what they've bargained for and it's going to be a race to the bullet-riddled finish. The deal was agreed between Sean Haley for Multivisionnaire and Steve Davey for 101 Films.
Alice Runs Away (2021) is an atmospheric drama starring William Sadler (Shawshank Redemption / Die Hard 2). Alice (Ashley Shelton), hides away from her past and present haunts, at her uncle’s (Sadler) farm - an idyllic, isolated patch where new lives can be formed and old ones left behind. There she meets other outsiders (Paxton Singleton – Haunting of Hill House) seeking shelter who have been taken in by her uncle in what appears to be through philanthropic motivations alone. But while her new refuge offers solace, secrets and faces from the past are not far behind. The deal was agreed between Rebecca Dornburg for High Octane and Steve Davey for 101 Films.
