*Johannesburg-based Brainstorm Entertainment releases the film "Killing of Wendy" on DVD. The dark comedy, starring Vanessa Bell Calloway, Michael Boatman and Rachel True, centers on an investigation into the murder of the title character, an aging actress who has been blackmailing an agent, screenwriter, producer, director and five actresses. Boatman plays the case detective, but his questioning is compromised, as he is not only a detective, but an aspiring screenwriter, actor and rapper and sees the interrogation as his way into "Hollywood."
