Director Terence Gordon of ‘What’s In A Name! A Versace Story’ details the story of Alfredo Versace, who was raised from humble beginnings and builds a life of fortune by helping to globalize the Versace brand, only to have it all taken away; stripped of his name, fortune, and friends.

King of the Condo, written by the Spin Man, Tom Madden, is the hilarious spoof of residents trying to get a life in a Florida condo. When one of them tries to assassinate the condo president, the comedy turns into an entertaining who-dunit with fun and suspects galore in this riotous romp sure to remind condo dwellers of the commando commandoes in their own ocean towers, today becoming fatal attractions like the tragic condo collapse in Surfside, FL.
