The true story of one of Nashville's most innovative instrumentalists comes to the screen in this biographical drama based on the life of Hank Garland. Garland (played by Waylon Payne) was a gifted guitarist who rose among the ranks of aspiring country music stars to become one of Music City's busiest session players. Garland performed and recorded with the likes of Patsy Cline (Mandy Barnett), Roy Orbison (Brian Jones) and Elvis Presley (Jason Alan Smith), and Garland's musical interests went beyond country and pop; he loved jazz, and inspired by Wes Montgomery, he intended to bridge the gap between country and jazz, forming a jazz combo and cutting a celebrated album called JAZZ WINDS FROM A NEW DIRECTION. But Garland was also a deeply troubled man; his passion for music could seem obsessive to many who worked with him, he had a short fuse when it came to people he felt were taking advantage of his talents, and his womanizing ways led him into a ill-fated relationship with Evelyn (Ali Larter), who discovered too late that she had many rivals for his affections, with music at the top of the list. However, it was neither a sour relationship nor an unappreciative audience that caused the tragedy that ended Garland's career before its time. CRAZY was the first feature film from director Rick Bieber.

Accused by the Islamic regime of having monarchic sympathies as a result of PROSTITUTION BEHIND THE VEIL, her award winning documentary about the plight of two Iranian prostitutes, filmmaker Nahid Persson responds by crafting this cinematic portrait of the last Iranian queen, Farah, who now lives abroad. In the late 1970s, during the Iranian Revolution, Persson assisted the effort to dispose of the shah, the Iranian king. And while Persson's personal political views may stand in direct contrast to those held by Farah, the filmmaker and the aristocrat ultimately form an improbable yet undeniably warm connection during the course of filming THE QUEEN AND I. Over the course of the two years it took to produce the film, the director and the now seventy year-old queen engage in conversation covering a variety of topics. But there's one subject that Persson expressly avoids for fear of offending her subject: The shah's merciless regime. By avoiding this white elephant topic, the filmmaker raises many interesting questions concerning the sacrifices a filmmaker is willing to make in order to gain access to their subject, and how far the filmmaker is willing to bend in order to help maintain said subject's carefully crafted public persona.
