“Apart From That” now available! Happy are we!

Friends know we are huge fans of Randy Walker and Jennifer Shainin’s astounding feature film, Apart From That. The special edition DVD/CD soundtrack/photo book with special features, including auditions, a “making of” documentary, trailers, and deleted scenes from Apart From That is ON SALE, at 25% OFF, and you can buy it here.

The film is also available online for digital download (VOD) on Amazon and iTunes.

People are sloppy. They want to be liked by strangers and will go to great lengths to be accepted. In the character-driven narrative feature film, Apart From That, the little moments that define the everyday lives of a student beautician, an elderly exhibitionist, a Native American road worker, a Vietnamese banker and his adopted American son reveal the similarities between very different people.

For more information about the film and filmmakers, visit to the official site, Foreign American Pictures.
