Treading Water - Tuesday Nov. 18 @ 7pm

USA 2001 | Run time: 95 min. | Director: Lauren Himmel

Casey (Angela Redman) has rejected her privileged upbringing and restores old boats for a living. She lives a cozy life with her beautiful social worker girlfriend Alex (super sexy Nina Landey) until her stuffy family demands that she come home for Christmas – without Alex.

Casey is a longshorewoman who seems to have everything she wants; she and her girlfriend Alex are very much in love. But there's nothing like the holidays to bring out the drama of the average family. Casey lives just across the bay from her upper crust New England family. The proximity seems no accident: Casey can't quite let go, despite her family's judgmental and inescapable hold on her otherwise independent and unconventional life. When the family reunites for Christmas, the unwrapping of presents takes a back seat to the unraveling of emotions.

Beautifully filmed on the New England coast, Director Lauren Himmel uses great care in avoiding stereotypes and clichés to fashion a tender, subtle, tense and sometimes funny look at repression and the idea of family.

It's Christmas time and there's only one thing on Ralphie Parker's Christmas list this year: a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-Shot, Range Model Air Rifle, but many obstacles stand in the way of his dream because every adult that he confronts keeps telling him he'll shoot his eye out.

Meanwhile The Old Man just got a major award (a lamp shaped like a woman's leg), and Mom is making sure The Old Man doesn't come near her turkey, Ralphie's friend gets his tongue stuck to a flag pole, and Ralphie utters the f-word infront of his father.

Christmas is drawing nearer and Ralphie visits Santa at the department store in hopes of asking him for his dream gift. Will he receive it?

Jonathan (Kevin Isola) is a romantic. He believes in Santa, even though it irritates his sister Marie (Aida Turturro, The Sopranos). Now in his early twenties and working in a New York gay bookstore, Jonathan thinks he's found his gift from Santa when he meets co-worker Toby (David Murtka).

Toby's a cute Southerner and winner of the local "wet underwear" contest. But as the shopping days count down to Christmas, Jonathan discovers that Santa doesn't always deliver what sexy boys want, he delivers what they deserve.
