All Good Things
Premieres Wednesday, December 1st at 8:15pm followed by an encore presentation at 11:30pm
Starring Kirsten Dunst, Ryan Gosling, Frank Langella
Directed by Andrew Jarecki
Inspired by the most notorious missing person's case in New York history, ALL GOOD THINGS is a love story and murder
mystery set against the backdrop of a New York real estate dynasty in the 1980s. The drama portrayed in Andrew Jarecki's
film was inspired by the story of Robert Durst, scion of the wealthy Durst family. Mr. Durst was suspected but never tried for
killing his wife Kathie who disappeared in 1982 and was never found. The original script was developed by Jarecki, Marc
Smerling, and Marcus Hinchey and written by Smerling and Hinchey.
The film stars Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst and Frank Langella as the powerful patriarch. The film is directed and
produced by Andrew Jarecki, (Academy Award-nominated Capturing the Friedmans, upcoming Universal/Rogue release
Catfish), and produced by Marc Smerling (Capturing the Friedmans, Catfish). It was also produced by Michael London, and
Bruna Papandrea and financed by London's Groundswell Productions.

Night Catches Us
Premieres Wednesday, December 1st at 10:00pm followed by an encore presentation at 1:15am
Starring Anthony Mackie, Kerry Washington, Jamie Hector
Directed by Tanya Hamilton
In 1976, after years of mysterious absence, Marcus (Anthony Mackie, “The Hurt Locker”) returns to the Philadelphia
neighborhood where he came of age in the midst of the Black Power movement. While his arrival raises suspicion among his
family and former neighbors, he finds acceptance from his old friend Patricia (Kerry Washington, “Ray,” “Lift”) and her
daughter. However, Marcus quickly finds himself at odds with the organization he once embraced, whose members suspect
he orchestrated the slaying of their former comrade-in-arms. In a startling sequence of events, Marcus must protect a secret
that could shatter everyone's beliefs as he rediscovers his forbidden passion for Patricia
