"Easy Money" is a new program debuting this Fall on CW11. Enter to win 2 passes for the Sunday, September 14, 2008, 8pm RED CARPET SCREENING at the New World Stages Theater!
"Easy Money" premieres on CW11 on September 21, 9:00-10:00 p.m.
The cast of "Easy Money," a new one-hour drama about a family that runs a high interest loan business, includes Emmy Award-winning actress Laurie Metcalf ("Desperate Housewives," "Roseanne"), Jeff Hephner ("The O.C."), Judge Reinhold ("Swing Vote," "The Santa Clause Trilogy"), Nick Searcy ("Rodney"), Jay Ferguson ("Sleeper Cell"), Gary Farmer ("Moose TV") and Katie Lowes ("The Ghost Whisperer"). Diane Frolov and Andy Schneider ("Northern Exposure," "The Chris Isaak Show," "The Sopranos") serve as Executive Producers for the series, along with producer Brandon Hill.
In "Easy Money," 28-year-old Morgan Buffkin (Hephner) finds himself in charge of Prestige Payday Loans, his eccentric family's enormously successful short-term loan business. Any doubts Morgan has about running his family's business are quickly replaced by dealing with family business: Morgan's brother Cooper (Ferguson) insists on driving a silver-plated Hummer, his sister Brandy (Lowes) has questionable morals, he suspects that his mother (Metcalfe) and father (Searcy) are not being completely honest with him about his relation to the family, and every so often, part-time detective Barry (Reinhold) drops in. "Easy Money" follows the Buffkin Family in a modern-day Dickensian tale of money and identity.
'Behind The Lens': Local Photojournalists Reflect On 9/11 In New Documentary

Though it has been seven years since the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, memories of the tragedy are still fresh in our minds. Even more everlasting are the photographs from that fateful day, illustrating faces stricken with terror and fear.
But what of the photographers who arrived on scene to capture the unfolding disaster as others were running away from it?
Behind the Lens: Covering 9/11 is a new documentary that tells the story of four photojournalists who, along with firemen, police officers and fellow journalists, risked their lives to show the world images of a crisis. The film premieres tonight, September 10 at 6pm at the New Filmmakers Film Festival.
Featured in the documentary are photographers Don Halasy and Bolivar Arellano of The New York Post, and David Handschuh and Todd Maisel of The New York Daily News. Both publications are major daily newspapers in New York City.
"Bringing never before seen video from Ground Zero and coupled with in-depth interviews from photojournalists, the audience is given a behind the scenes view into the unique world of gathering news in a crisis. We learn the intimate details of what these photojournalists endured to cover this atrocity; from being buried alive to lensing photos that continue to create controversy and now sit in the Library of Congress"states Covering911.com.
"From a cleanup worker who believes he’s found a survivor to a fireman’s widow burying her husband to an FBI technician separating bones from rubble," according to the film's description, this documentary goes beyond what happened on September 11. It also emphasizes the emotional toll victims, families and these photographers had to endure. And those kinds of wounds don't heal quickly
