- A young musician struggles to keep his life and band together as he comes to grips with the inevitable loss of his life-long friend and mentor.
- "One Toke Over the Line...and Still Smokin'" celebrates the lives and career of folk-rock duo Brewer and Shipley. Their Top 10 song, "One Toke Over the Line," became a counterculture anthem in the early 1970s and earned them a spot on Nixon's enemies list. From their first performances on the national folk music circuit to their 1967 debut at the Troubadour, Brewer and Shipley became part of the vanguard of the folk-rock era. The film follows Michael Brewer and Tom Shipley on tour around the country in the years leading up to the 50th anniversary of their musical act. Brewer and Shipley produced a rich repertoire of music and recordings that continue beyond their 50 years as a team. With humor and insight, Brewer and Shipley sing and tell tales of their eventful and creative lives on and off the road and offer their passionate opinions about music, politics, and culture. The film features never-before-seen archival material and musical performances, including new and unreleased music. Veteran blues musician and composer Nick Gravenites, pianist and former touring bandmate Mark Naftalin, musician and singer Danny Cox, musician/composer Keith Brewer, sound recordist Stephen Barncard, and musician/composer Jorma Kaukonen are among the friends and contemporaries who share their thoughts on Brewer and Shipley's music and their contribution to the birth of folk-rock music.
- "The Tao of Blake" celebrates the life of the late Blake Travis, a beloved St. Louis musician, and storyteller, through archival footage and interviews with friends, family members, and fellow musicians. A native of Webster Groves, Missouri, Travis made a memorable impression as one of the teens featured in the 1966 CBS documentary "16 in Webster Groves." A versatile performer, equally adept in music-making and storytelling, Travis' talents ranged widely, drawing from global folklore and world-music roots. "The Tao of Blake" offers an inspiring portrait of a man whose life was a reflection of major social changes in 20th-century America and an inspiring meditation on family, community, faith, and spirituality.
- SECRET, the documentary, is a film adaptation of a 2005 multimedia performance art workshop collaboration of media artists, rap singers, DJs, and actors from St. Louis, the birthplace of Josephine Baker.

Drawn from over a thousand FBI files and archival material, SECRET tells the story of St. Louis-born entertainer Josephine Baker and two men who pursued her: media personality Walter Winchell and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. Mixing old and new sound and images to link the present and past, SECRET uncovers Baker's identity as a global human rights activist.
