Winner of the 1998 Los Angeles Outfest's Outstanding Emerging Talent Award, Buck's Out of Season is a touching and subtle love story set in the picturesque seaside resort of Cape May, New Jersey. Micki, a restless, leather-jacketed, and Marlboro-smoking lesbian with loads of attitude, finds herself in a small town, caring for her dying uncle Charlie and running from everything, including her ex and her photography career. She finds a few surprises, one of which is the other lesbian in town, Roberta, a forty-year-old African-American waitress at the local diner and a good friend of her uncle. Jealousy, fear, and love all play a part in the story that ensues as both women struggle to find a way to trust. Buck has created a feature that is at once engaging, credible, and satisfying.

This English-language film from the director of Costa Brava is a sparkling comedy set in Spain, where the WonderNapKing Company is in crisis because of a severe decline in its sales of sanitary napkins. Rosa, a worker at the factory, is angry that her friends have been laid off, so she takes over as CEO with the intent to rehire her friends. When she learns that the demand for sanitary napkins is falling because women are having shorter periods due to stress, she hatches a plan to eliminate women's principal headache-men. All that remains is for Rosa and her compaderas to doctor a popular new brand of toothpaste with a radioactive material that causes men to disap- pear, thereby creating a world of ample employment, peace, and prosperity. Will Rosa's plan be sabotaged and bungled, or will she succeed? Honey... is a whimsical, witty and clever farce, certain to appeal to all "I Love Lucy" fans.
