Tourists - Comedy
Welcome to Orlando, tourist capital of the world. Three friends work at different jobs throughout the Happy World Resort, a theme park and hotel facility. Hank is an aspiring actor who plays multiple meet and greet characters. Danny works in the gift shops, shilling snow globes to souvenir hungry tourists, and Al works full time at the hotel as a VIP concierge to high profile guests. Of course, the threesome hate tourists, spending their nights at local bars telling stories of the ridiculousness of their days. One day, the owner of Happy World flies in and while in the company of Al at his hotel suite, accidentally dies when he falls on a glass table. Al, worried that he'll be to blame, decides to dispose of the body. His two friends agree to help by pretending to be long lost cousins of the owners. Now, Hank and Danny are going to become the ugly tourists, while Al tries to figure out a way to get rid of the body.

Redstar - Sci-fi action
Fifty years from now, the first resort is built on Mars. Only the richest and most privileged clientele are attending the inaugural weekend of Redstar. However, originally put on the planet was a penal colony designed to get rid of the most vile criminals on Earth. Miles and miles away from the resort, the prison is connected via an elaborate tunnel that connects to a central control. The tough, evil prisoners have escaped, killed all the guards, and made it through the tunnels to the resort, where everyone is taken hostage. Their only demand -- a ship large enough to carry the residents of the prison back to Earth. Now the lone surviving guard needs to figure out a plan to save those in the resort. Good thing, he's an ex-Marine who survived the fourth World War.
