"BABY ON BOARD," the new comedy from Director Brian Herzlinger (My Date With Drew) and starring Heather Graham, Jerry O'Connell, John Corbett, and Lara Flynn Boyle. Herzlinger and O’Connell are both Philly native!

“It’s a comedy winner. Absolutely hilarious. ‘Baby On Board’ is a smart, funny and raunchy surprise.”
- Pete Hammond, Hollywood.Com
Life for a successful power couple gets thrown for a loop when the wife finds out she's pregnant.

In the tradition of Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin arrives hilarious romantic comedy BABY ON BOARD; the story of Angela (Heather Graham) an ambitious, image-conscious businesswoman working for over-demanding boss Mary (Lara Flynn Boyle). When Angela becomes unexpectedly pregnant at the peak of her career, her life with her divorce attorney husband, Curtis (Jerry O'Connell), is turned upside-down. BABY ON BOARD begins with an inconvenient pregnancy that leads to a nine-month rollercoaster ride as Angela and Curtis try to cope even as the interference of best friends Danny (John Corbett) and Danny's wife Sylvia (Katie Finneran) escalate the situation into a battle of the sexes.

Starring: Heather Graham (Austin Powers, Swingers, Bowfinger)
Jerry O'Connell (Jerry Maguire, Joe's Apartment, Stand by Me)
John Corbett (Sex and the City, My Big Fat Greek Wedding)
Lara Flynn Boyle (Men In Black, Wayne's World, The Practice)
Katie Finneran (Broadway Tony Award Winner for “Noises Off”)

The picture is directed by Brian Herzlinger, whose 2004 feature documentary MY DATE WITH DREW garnered critical praise for its “astute and often hilarious” presentation of Herzlinger's attempt to get a date with childhood-crush Drew Barrymore.

About the movies:
20th Century Boy – Directed by Joe Kramer
A young man in modern America, Victor, over-read and over-imaginative, believes himself to be a World War I veteran, injured in France, returning to the country in the Roaring Twenties. He's discovered wandering the train tracks by a young and impulsive 20-something girl named Jane, who soon befriends him and adopts him into her life.

The Scrapper – Directed by Jonathan Olshefski
‘The Scrapper’ follows the nightly routine of one of Philadelphia’s scrappers. Scrapping is a way of life in many urban areas where a tremendous wealth disparity exists in close proximity. After the sun sets the Scrapper traverses the urban landscape in search of treasure.

The Mind – Directed by Isaac Williams
A force beyond physical form seeks to regain corporeality after being dismembered. Six people are taken over by a supernatural drive to collect fresh blood for purposes unknown to them. Lives are lost and ruined as this madness consumes and destroys.

Sat, May 2nd- Black Landlord w/ Captain Smokes and The Shotguns - Village Green Presents



Black Landlord
"This is a project started by Maxx (formerly of the Goats and Incognegro). It is a TRUE collective. The idea began 4yrs ago with friends and super-electro producers Leonard de Leonard and Olaf Hund. They worked together in Paris and Berlin, writing songs and daydreaming about how to bring talented people together. So, after learning German, some ghetto French and drinking great beer, Maxx returned home to Philly and put a live band together and the end result was a diverse mix of Philly All-Stars."

with
Captain Smokes and The Shotguns
"Captain Smokes is back. Its been a long and strange trip but he got the original Shotguns lineup back together and clam baked the studio to create some new tune-age. (Bud Hempfield--Guitar, Herb Roller--Keyboard, Omar Hashish--Bass, Screenz--Drums) Captain Smokes & The Shotguns is simply pleasure in your ears after you pleasured your lungs. The Captain pleasures himself everytime he hears himself. He's travelled the world, studied with Zanga and puffed great plants in many foreign countries. The Captain still doesn't have any tattoos and plans on keeping it that way. Nothing more to prove. Nothing more to say. Just peace and all good things. Come groove to the best live show on planet Earth."

Written and directed by Jena Serbu
Shot for two weeks straight, on location at the Philadelphia Art Museum, Eye of the Tiger/Thrill of the Fight (written and directed by Jena Serbu) offers a hilarious and thought-provoking glimpse into the voyeuristic world of reality television, juxtaposing all three sides of this phenomenon: the high strung producers, the daft participants, and the spellbound viewers. Seven stereotypical contestants are duped into signing up for a new reality television show called 'The Philadelphia Experiment', on which the participants have their luggage stolen and are forced to live homeless on the grounds of the Philadelphia Art Museum.

Cast members include Tony Luke Jr., Christa D’Agostino, Scotty Yelity, Chris Osborne, Mark A. Dahl, Brea Bee, Ishmael Klein, Mei-Yann Hwang, Dana Michael, Rob Paluso, Amie Shafer, Tim Shelton, Tamika Simpkins, Michael Minnard, Robert Boileau, and Steve Klasky
