  Raye’s devastating documentary follows the plight of some 450 dogs brought through a single animal shelter during the winter of 2013. Policy dictates that any animal not adopted within 12 nights will be destroyed. Only around 10% of residents will be so lucky as to survive. As they wait, their time in the shelter is fraught with anguish, disease, and only the slimmest possibility of a better life. Executive produced by novelist and filmmaker Giddens Ko (You Are The Apple Of My Eye).

  Vulgaria star Chapman To challenges the boundaries of good taste again, this time alongside a platoon of Japanese AV stars in the raunchy and rudely satirical 3D Naked Ambition. An honors graduate in literature, Wayman (To) is stuck writing cheap erotic fiction, but somehow ends up starring in an AV film. Suddenly a porn superstar in Japan, he discovers a whole new world fraught with pleasure, pain and more twists and turns than he or the audience expects!

  Top literature department graduate Chan Wai Man falls to write sex stories in the newspaper for a living, while his live in girlfriend becomes a popular romantic novel queen whose novels are destined to be bestsellers. The woman on top situation does not just appear at work but also in bed.

  Chan Wai Man's disappointing career falls into the abyss with the newspaper ending its sex pages. A group of unemployed and disillusioned sex page writers meet with a friend who delivers new film for adult video film reviews at the adult video store. Chan suddenly gets an idea. Since they grew up on Japanese adult video, why do they not make one of their own and go from viewers to producers even if it is just for fun? Finally they receive overwhelming responses for investment from a group of shut in friends and even plan to form a tour group to visit the set......
