  Episode #1 - "NOAH"
  This first episode in a series of films to come will spotlight the GUN CRISIS in the USA, where GUNS ARE THE #1 KILLER OF CHILDREN. This episode and all sequential episodes will be based on true-events.
  
  The storyline;
  After moving to the USA years before to further both their music careers (he a Swiss concert pianist and she a German jazz singer), the couple spend the last 24-hours of their marriage together, months after their 7-year-old son was accidentally shot and killed by another 7-year-old child. The two boys played with a gun that had been mistakenly left in the home, unbeknownst to the couple. All "7 STAGES OF GRIEF" are on display, but all is not heartache - as humor, passion and love redeems them. PLEASE NOTE: The film has one brief flashback scene to the day the boy was killed but the child is never seen. All future episodes will also never show children being shot.
  
  This story, and the stories to come, will examine the GUN CRISIS in the USA that is killing our most precious citizens. Tragically, a different versions of stories like this one are being repeated hundreds times each year in the USA. These stories bring light to the aftermath of these tragedies, long after the News Media has lost interest, in the hope that these stories will humanize each family's story, and help the audience relate to these senseless tragedies, and become advocates who are devoted to stopping these senseless deaths of children.
  
  RED DRESS SOLILOQUY - the DIRECTOR'S CUT is a USA/German co-production. This tragic love-story has an "R" rating due to it's edgy, intimate and honest look into a modern day marriage that has flaws and issues like most marriages, especially when the marriage is falling apart. This fiery couple is brilliantly portrayed by two of Europe's most promising "Up and Coming Stars." Yes, the actors are European - the point being - anyone living or visiting the USA is subject to becoming a victim of this country's GUN violence epidemic.
  The final message at the end of the film:
  END FAMILY FIRE - In the United States 8 children are unintentionally injured or killed each day due to an UNLOCKED or UNSUPERVISED gun in the home.
