The Last Gamble

Elizabeth Heaton (Tanya Clarke, A Beautiful Mind) enjoys a successful psychiatric practice in Upper Manhattan, while Joe Goode (Steven Bauer, Scarface), one of her patients, battles a serious gambling addiction which threatens both his job and his reputation.

When he finally goes out of work, his mother (Sally Kirkland, Anna) receives repeated phone threats from angry bookies and loan sharks. This leads to Joe ultimately confronting the depths that his sickness has brought him. Meanwhile, Elizabeth has a one-night stand with a man who turns out to be a psychotic stalker. She and Joe work together to hatch a dangerous and daring plan as a last resort to their problems.

The film also stars Katherine Narducci, John Savage, Rick Ravanello, Stephen Rembe, Vinny Vella, Ray Abruzzo, and Nick Mancuso.

The Undertaker's Dozen

The Undertaker's Dozen entwines 12 of NY's most dysfunctional, deviant, and colorful human beings into one 12-step program. At the hub of the wheel is Lou Carbone, a highly successful and publicly visible crime boss. Seemingly, the world is his for the asking (he does not take no for an answer) and he has everything in control except with a dark obsession with the feel, scent, and wearing of woman's undergarments.

He is perused relentlessly by Nick Clancy, an old school NYC detective who has been on Carbone’s tail for nearly 10 years. Obsessed with stopping the crime boss, Nick has put everything on the line including his marriage, his career, and his ethics. But despite these extreme measures, Carbone still manages to elude prosecution.

In his pursuit, Clancy confronts Dr. Leon Chomsky, a brilliant clinical psychiatrist and creator of the 12-step program. It is revealed that Carbone has previously sought Chomsky's help, as the doctor has had great success in turning around deviant disorders. Aware of this, Clancy uncovers skeletons in the psychiatrist’s closet and has no hesitation about exposing them to track down the crime boss.

As Carbone works through his compulsion, we are introduced to a host of colorful, twisted characters such as obsessive overeaters, prostitutes, alcoholics, gamblers, and pyromaniacs who are battling their inner demons. All of them round out The Undertaker's Dozen. It is gritty, dark, challenging, and at times, even humorous.

Aside from our friends and family, we’re also surrounded by complex people everywhere we go, may it be in a restaurant or a subway. So, the next time you're standing on the platform, ask yourself: Is that person next to you one of "The Undertaker's Dozen?”
