In the tradition of films such as The Full Monty, Kinky Boots, Billy Elliot and Bend It Like Beckham comes Guys and Balls, a feel-good comedy from Germany about friendship and learning to accept others for who they are. Ecki (Maximillian Brückner, making his screen debut) is the goalie of his small town local soccer team and playing has been one of greatest passions since he was a child. On the same day he accidentally lets down his teammates during an important match, they discover he is gay and quickly kick him off the team. Seeking revenge, Ecki sets out to form an all-gay soccer team with a little help from his sister Susanne (Lisa Maria Potthoff), Karl (Rolf Zacher), the washed-up soccer star who coaches them, and Sven (David Rott), his new love interest. But Ecki will get more than he bargained for with his new crew as they prepare to go head-to-head with his old teammates in the ultimate grudge match. Summer Storm, a coming-of-age tale about friendship, jealousy and hidden longings, centers on best friends Tobi (Robert Stadlober) and Achim (Kostja Ullmann). Together they have helped win several rowing competitions for their team and they are now preparing for the big regatta in the German countryside. As Achim begins to form a romantic relationship with a girl named Sandra (Miriam Morgenstern), Tobi's hidden feelings for him begin to rise to the surface. While Tobi is feeling confused and left out, a team of young, athletic gay men unexpectedly join the competition. Tobi and his teammates must then deal with their prejudices, their fears and secret desires. As the tension grows, Tobi, Achim and the others head towards a confrontation as fierce and, ultimately, as liberating as the summer storm gathering over the lake.

For more information, contact Steve Hickson at 773-935-2747 or visit www.bandgeeksmusical.com STEFY is a band with the energy of No Doubt, and an incredibly sexy front woman, Stefy Rae, who combines the brashness of Pink and the commanding stage presence of Debbie Harry. Rae is bold and captivating as the focal point of the electro-infused rock band, STEFY and their new CD "Orange". Whether singing about moving on from a torrid relationship, getting over a boy who is as fake as "Orange Crush," or lamenting about a pair of teens in Orange County who lose their innocence too early, Rae's melodic voice has a subtle force, making it the only aspect of this band that isn't totally in-your-face. With Sean Meyer (guitar), Jason Gaviati (keys) and Andreas Brobjer (drums), STEFY unleashes a barrage of pop hooks and electric rock energy on their album and on stage
