I've had the good fortune to see many of my own projects through from start to finish.  

iCRIME

Feature, 2011, DVD/VOD release through Vicious Circle Films.  103 minutes.

Writer/Director: Bears Fonté

Unlike the rest of the girls coming to Hollywood with dreams of seeing their name in lights, Carrie Kevin arrives with a single purpose, to protect her cousin Stefy from the dark side of showbiz. A moderately successful pinup model, Stefy uses parties, alcohol, and sex to get ahead like everyone else. But when tabloid sensationalist Evelyn Echo gets a hold of a video tape that could destroy Stefy's career, Carrie has only one choice. To satisfy Evelyn's need for a bigger story, Carrie must become what she hates, a bottom-feeding scene-dweller, and investigate the disappearance of a teenage cyber-lebrity named Jordan Rivers. Lost in the web of chat rooms, fan forums, and online vlogs, Carrie quickly learns that no one is what they seem in the City of Fallen Angels and it is up to her to unravel the conspiracy before she too becomes its victim.

The Secret Keeper

Short, 2012. 17 minutes.

Writer/Director: Bears Fonté

A secret is a precious commodity. If a person can seal their secrets away, and live guilt free, they can truly be anyone, do anything. Somewhere, sometime in an alternate future or past that vaguely resembles the styles and prejudices of our late 1940's, The Secret Keeper provides clients with that very opportunity. But when femme fatale Vanessa shares her hidden fears, The Secret Keeper finds herself caught in her customer’s plot to flee the country with stolen money and a stolen husband. Who keeps The Secret Keeper's secrets? 

World Premiere - Los Angeles Shorts Fest.  35 Festival Selections including Austin Film Festival, Phoenix Film Festival, Boston SciFi, DragonCon, and the Philip K. Dick Film Festival.

Bears has been a great addition to our programming team. He has great taste in films and strong connections to filmmakers through his various activities as programmer, journalist and filmmaker. He need to reassess his opinion of Fury Road, however.
