- Widowed Liz Garfield and her son Bobby change when mysterious stranger Ted Brautigan enters their lives.
- Every year the Chincoteague fire department rounds up the wild ponies of Assateague Island, and then auctions off the colts and yearlings to thin out the herd. A young brother and sister, Paul and Maureen Beebe, have set their hearts on owning one particular wild three-year-old pony, The Phantom. Only they have to earn the money, the Phantom has to be captured in the roundup (which she never has), and then they have to outbid everyone else for her in the auction. And even the Phantom herself has a surprise for Paul and Maureen: a foal named Misty.
- WATER FALLS is NASA's new Science On a Sphere (SOS) movie introducing the public to the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite mission. This film was made to raise awareness leading up the February 27, 2014 launch of the GPM Core satellite. In short, GPM is a joint NASA and Japanese Space Agency program that is taking on the essential task of measuring water as it falls to our planet's surface. However, this movie is more than a discussion of new space hardware. It aims to engage the viewer in thinking about the role of fresh water in our daily lives. Alongside the orbital paths of the satellite fleet and an overview of how the instruments work, we see painterly representations of the water cycle and discover the complexities of understanding water as it falls through the atmosphere. Beautiful seamless photography adds context from the natural world, from blossoms in macro to iconic waterfalls and even kayakers rolling in a lake. Indeed, what would life be without fresh water?
- Loop is a NASA film about global circulation. The interaction of the planet's oceans and atmosphere is vital to all life on earth. Loop showcases the high-tech remote sensing and modeling that NASA is famous for, and contextualizes it via stunning full-wrap real world imagery. Science On a Sphere is a perfect platform to tell this story, as global winds and ocean patterns can be fully visualized, along with concepts such as the Coriolis effect and the endless cycle of Daisyworld. Ultimately, Loop is an exploration of the search for equilibrium.
- In the early days of America, a diverse group of people struggle to carve out an existence on a wind-swept island along the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
