Paul is a London tube driver with dreams of a cottage in a bee-loud glade. He's told that if his train strikes and kills one more person this month, he'll get a large severance, enough for the cottage. So he offers £1500 to Tommy Cassidy, a down-and-out Irishman, if Tommy will walk in front of Paul's train come Monday. He gives Tommy the cash on Friday. Wanting to ensure that Tommy honors the deal, Paul accompanies a cleaned-up Tommy on his trip (in a new suit and a hired car) to make things right with family he hasn't seen in eight years. Can Tommy, an inveterate gambler, make anything come out right? And what about Paul - can this suicide pact fulfill his dreams?

In our hectic world so much seems to pass us by. All around us dramas are playing out, but they often happen so fast that we don’t even see it: blink and you’ll miss it. But when you slow down the action a whole new world is revealed.

Working inside the studio and shooting outdoors, Los Angeles based wedding and portrait photographer Joey Ikemoto lets our cameras in for a second ShootSmarter video. This time we see Joey setup, light then shoot a gorgeous set of engagement images on a classic background in the studio, on high key, then again outdoors. Next we watch and learn as Joey magically gets a family of young children to pose naturally in the park and along the walkway from the studio. Our video cameras catch every move so you can see how a successful pro gracefully gets his subjects to “light up” for the camera.

Out of the Wild is the story of Henry McBride, a down and out cowboy with a painful past he can't drink away.

It is here he meets the owner, Jessie King, a no-nonsense rancher with a deep love for horses. McBride's self-discovery begins when she introduces him to a new way of training a troubled mustang, a horse whose past and temperament mirror his own. As the story brings together the paths of these two beaten souls, man and horse, it is King that sees a shared spirit deep within them- One that is hidden beneath anguish, torment, and years endured in the darkest of places. Behind the broken heart of a family lost, a soul tormented with guilt, and an endless haze of booze to dull the pain, she knows McBride is at heart a good man.
