Character: Norman
Released: February 3, 2002

Kyle is loyal to his wife, his best mate and his boss in the Ulster Defence Union – and they love him as a husband, a brother and a son – but, with changing times and the emerging peace process, Kyle finds himself lost in the shadows of transition, uncertainty, and betrayal. In a world turned upside down, peace and brutality walk side-by-side, while love and loyalty are sacrificed to the new order. "As the Beast Sleeps" is set in Belfast's Protestant Rathcoole housing estate and explores with an up-to-the-minute urgency, the fragmentation within an extended family of loyalists in the context of the current cease-fire.

Whiskey: The Movie
Title: Whiskey: The Movie
Released: December 31, 1969
Type: Movie
In the beginning skate and snowboard videos were, for the most part, simple displays of talent. The Whiskey videos changed all that. No it wasn't because of flashy editing, top industry pros, or huge production budgets. These videos were made by a couple of third rate pros. All they had were a few shitty cameras and enough gas money to get to Whistler.
