Ellen Little, president of The Little Film Company, continues the legacy of the respected international sales and distribution company she created with her husband and business partner, Robbie Little.

The Little Film Company is offering three new films at AFM: the feature documentary One Note At A Time - in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, three musicians return to New Orleans determined to help Keep the Music Alive, only to face a multitude of issues including their own health, in the devastated city. Octav, the drama from Romanian director Serge Ioan Celebidachi, is a life-affirming story that celebrates the purity of childhood, friendship, love and the bitter-sweetness of nostalgia. Octav returns home to sell his childhood house. As he wanders through the estate, he re-lives joyful scenes from his childhood eventually finding answers to questions which have cast a shadow over his adult life. Hi-Lo Joe, written and directed by James Kermack - Joe is a struggling writer and comedian whose quick wit and good looks mean he has no trouble seducing women.
