The film LOVE IS THE DRUG, directed by Elliott Lester and written by Wesley Strick & Steve Allison, tells the story of five recent high school graduates filled with the verve of youth and the apprehension of the issues that confront them during the summer before college. The film takes a candid look at how desire, excess and truth collide to reshape their lives, and how easily situations spin out of control.

Alpine Pictures will begin casting and pre-production in October, for DARK HONEYMOON a suspense thriller written and to be directed by David O'Malley and produced by Michael Meltzer. Filming is slated to begin in late November of this year. Alpine Pictures also expects to be in production with four feature films for 2006.
