"This compellingly quiet and visually stunning film invites us into the singular worlds of seven men who live outside the bright lights of a popular tourist destination. In remarkably candid monologues and interviews, these fascinating individuals describe their lives and explain what matters to them, what they consider significant; ultimately, we gain some sense of how they find meaning in the world. Myrtle Beach presents these men to us without explicit judgment or commentary and thereby reminds us of the mysteriousness of our world and our fellow human beings."

Lady Bountiful is a look inside the world of 85 year old artist Joan Von Briesen. A mother, painter and 'the original of recycling,' Joanie has lived in her victorian house in Cole Valley, San Francisco for almost fifty years. Through conversations with Joanie, her sister, and passers through in her home, we learn about her unusual gifts and attitudes towards life as she faces cancer and death in mysterious, delightful, and civic minded ways.
