'CIEL' is a boy who delves into music, conjuring dreams for his mother. During the last week of summer, a late-night brawl finds the fighter in the nurse's care causing their three fates to be forever entwined...".

Written/directed by first-time feature film director Charles Officer ("Da Kink In My Hair") and produced by Ingrid Veninger ("Gods and LSD"), who co-wrote the film with Officer, "NURSE.FIGHTER.BOY" stars Clark Johnson ("The Wire"), Karen LeBlanc, Walter Borden, and Daniel J. Gordon.

Black Walk Runs With "Medium Raw: Night Of The Wolf"

The Canadian feature "Medium Raw: Night Of The Wolf", from the same creative team behind the 2007 feature "Dark Rising", stars Canadian actor William B. Davis ("X-Files") John Rhys Davies ("Lord of the Rings"), Mercedes McNab ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and WWE stars Jay Reso/Andrew "Test" Martin.

"...Not just another action thriller, 'Medium Raw' is also the diary of a marriage, having sprung from the mind of writer/director Andrew Cymek in 2001 at the request of producer/star Brigitte Kingsley. Brigitte promised Andrew that if he wrote something, she would produce it. Flash forward a few years and the newlyweds have just spent their honeymoon money on the opening scenes of what will become 'Medium Raw'..."

"Where there is a will, there is a way and I am nothing if not persistent," said Kingsley, who not only starred in and produced "Medium Raw", but is now head of production at Black Walk.

Founded in 1992 by Mihkel Harilaid as a music video production company with over 500 productions to their credit, Black Walk productions made the transition into film with "Phil the Alien" and "Ham and Cheese".
