SUNSHINE STATE, directed and written by John Sayles, takes a close-up and occasionally comic look at the fading community of Delrona Beach, Florida. A dozen local personalities are introduced, each with their own unique challenges. The town's dilapidated houses, its stale Buccaneer Days Festival, its sluggish economy, and the constant stream of developers trying to buy up the shore front, are making the natives think about moving on. However, the black residents of Lincoln Park refuse to let their land be bought and turned into a vacation resort. Dr. Lloyd (Bill Cobbs) leads the charge to stage a protest, and tries to get help from Eunice (Mary Alice) her daughter Desiree (Angela Bassett), who is visiting from Boston. On the other side of things, Marly (Edie Falco), a former Weeki Wachee mermaid, is the surly manager of the dingy Sea-Vue Motel who would like nothing more than to sell the joint and leave Delrona Beach for good.With a dizzy, meandering camera and a documentary feeling, SUNSHINE STATE draws viewers into the daily life of Delrona Beach, developing each of nearly a dozen characters with detail and feeling. While the plotlines are sometimes depressing, the realness of the characters and their lives is endearing, and at the end of the film, the narrative gets a satisfying dose of closure.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.0 - EnglishAdditional Release MateriaL Audio Commentary - 1.

Combining fiction and nonfiction, this intriguing film from director Jon Marc Sandifer begin with a dare, and ends with a heady dose of reality. Marilyne is of African-American origin, but has only ever dated white men. Until, that is, her friend Vanena offers a challenge she can't refuse: To get with an African-American man within the space of seven days. Director Sandifer subsequently seeks out four men for Marilyne and films the encounters secretly. The results are candid, eye-opening, and moving. Totally unscripted, this is a triumph of guerilla filmmaking, offering much food for thought due to inventive direction and the impromptu acting abilities of the various leads.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Music Video - 1. 2 Music Videos by General PopText/Photo Galleries: Stills/Photos Biographies - 1.
