ing yarn,
Come on a high stakes, high seas adventure to the Arctic with Sasha.
A beautifully-told, animated story about a 15 year-old who embarks on an adventure to the North Pole in order to find her grandfather’s ship and save her family’s honour. Set in 1892, the plot is centred on Sasha, a young Russian aristocrat who is very close to her explorer grandfather, Oloukine. He fails to return from his latest expedition to the North Pole. Against her parents’ wishes, Sasha flees her home and launches an adventure-filled quest toward the Great North in search of Oloukine and his ship.

New York Observer
Eight year old Anthony is somewhat uneasy about spending the weekend with his alcoholic, down-on-his-luck carpenter dad Walt, while his mom and her new husband have a weekend away. A series
of characteristically unfortunate events culminates in the theft of Walt’s toolbox, which he needs for an upcoming job. As Walt and Anthony set about finding the
guy who stole the tools, they begin to discover a true connection. Clive Owen
is unforgettable as a man struggling with addiction while he strives to reconnect with his son. A powerful directorial debut from writer/director Bob Nelson (Nebraska).
