Three young execs from the New York Ad Agency of DiMassimo, Inc are assigned to the ”calf-adoption project.” Their mission: to rescue a baby calf from becoming veal – and maybe get some good PR out of the deal. Armed with a mini-van, a video camera, a can of Lysol and an expense account, they set out on a one-of-a-kind journey. Produced at NYU’s Kanbar Institute of Film & Television.

Back on Board: Greg Louganis is an intimate portrait of the public triumphs and private struggles of trailblazing openly gay athlete Greg Louganis. A refreshingly candid documentary about this four-time Olympic champion, Back on Board follows Louganis for three years as he struggles with financial security and reunites with the sport he once dominated but did not feel welcome in. The threat of losing his house during the recent financial crisis forces Louganis to re-evaluate the choices, relationships, and missed opportunities of his career.
