From her experiences as a bi-racial child in Beverly Hills, to her relationship with her famous father, to her own acting career, Rain Pryor has amassed a wealth of stories to tell.

Hard rock music has come full circle, back to the clubs of Los Angeles. SubstanceTV goes onstage, backstage, and beyond with L.A.-based rock-funk combo 23 Link Chain. Hear their views on the music industry, and how they hope to fit into it, as we serve up interview footage with a healthy dose of the band’s heavy sounds.
Over the course of a decade, Baboon has toured with the Toadies, performed festivals with the likes of the Bloodhound Gang and Sevendust, cycled through two drummers and three bassists, and been featured on an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger. Find out more about this band USA Today called “punk noise punctuated by a badly played trombone” in their music video, “Closer”.
Director Scott Haro goes into disturbing territory with "Bruised", a short film that both depicts and speaks out against the shameful cycle of domestic abuse.

Films like Shane Acker’s “The Hangnail” are the reason Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Animation Festival still exists today. This animated comedy is about greed, generosity, the human condition, and the fact that if you get a hangnail you should just leave it alone!
