BACKGROUND INFO.

In December of 2003, the Independent Film world was presented with the benchmark announcement that Showtime Networks (following in the footsteps of fellow cabler HBO) had launched its premiere Showtime Independent Films banner and would be financing low-budget $1million Dollar Indie films directly for independent theatrical debut.

Showtime started the New Year off with three of its productions accepted into the 2004 Sundance Film Festival and continues to produce works with established specialty producers and directors.

Shuttling through a storyline that shifts its focus from one character to another as they jump in and out of bed with each other, Kwapis and his cast explore all the sparks \u2014 however impulsive, frustrated, or misguided \u2014 that inflame the modern bedroom and drive its unclothed inhabitants to fits of passion. Anne Heche, James LeGros, Dul\u00e9 Hill, Azure Skye, and Tom Everett Scott anchor an intrepid ensemble production that finds more intriguing quirks in the curious ideals of love and romance than in the hot and heavy groupings between the sheets.","numcomment":4,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/2004\/06\/showtime_logo.gif","filesize":"1.1 kibibytes","article_url":"\/news\/2004\/06\/111838.php","image":{"original":"\/uploads\/2004\/06\/showtime_logo.gif"}},"attachments":[{"id":111839,"heading":"Scene From SEXUAL LIFE","article":"","author":"Stacey Kumagai","parent_id":111838,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","created":"2004-06-05 22:10:18","modified":"2005-08-15 02:57:23","fileurl":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2004\/06\/scene_from_sexual_life.jpg","image":{"original":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2004\/06\/scene_from_sexual_life.jpg"}}],"comments":[{"id":111850,"heading":"The garbage that passes for 'entertaiment'","article":"Is this what passes for entertainment in 2004?
