Shadowboxer (2005) -- When Rose, a female assassin, is diagnosed with terminal cancer; she decides to carry out one final killing, assisted by lover and also stepson, Mickey.
My Big Break (2009) -- In this unflinching documentary, director Tony Zierra captures the surprising changes in the lives of his aspiring actor roommates over ten years.

"My Big Break" is a rare look at how people can be changed forever, but not necessarily for better, when their dreams come true.
