IN THE COMPANY OF MEN is about a psychological love triangle set within 90s corporate culture.Chad and Howard, two young white collar executives from a home office in a nameless city, are first seen en route to a six-week business trip at a branch office. Both are frustrated by their lot in life -- passed over for promotions by younger colleagues at work and rejected by their respective long term girlfriends -- so they formulate a plan that will bond them in their pain in order to ultimately feel better about themselves as men. All they need now is a girl.Chad's late night barroom suggestion is to find a young woman susceptible enough to be pulled into a situation in which both men can date her during their stay, someone not used to this kind of attention. If luck is with them, they'll dash her hopes during their last days in town and, as Chad says, "she'll be reaching for the sleeping pills within a week and you and me, we'll laugh about this until we're very old men." Not long after they arrive, Chad discovers a beautiful deaf woman working in the typing pool.What ensues is a cat-and-mouse game of one-upmanship that escalates into full scale psychological warfare. Both Chad and Howard work to win the affections of the young woman, yet the intensity and reasons behind their deception begin to take drastically different courses. Only too late does this "frat boy" prank begin to reveal itself as deadly serious, with a struggle between the two men at the heart of the battle. The woman is only a means to an end, a pawn easily captured and tossed aside in a dark, wicked duel for corporate ascension.

For most students, college is a time of dizzying personal change, both confusing and exhilarating. Seniors: Four Years in Retrospect helps prepare undergraduates to take full advantage of these invaluable years of questioning and growth. The filmmakers of Frosh, the widely acclaimed chronicle of one year in a racially diverse freshman residence hall, returned to Stanford three years later to see how college life had changed five of these students. Combining extensive footage shot during senior year with prophetic clips and "outtakes" from Frosh, the two directors have produced an altogether new film focusing on the different trajectories students from diverse backgrounds take to a fulfilling and successful college experience. Monique, daughter of a crack-addicted mother, almost drops out during her first year but is taken under the wing by two black women mentors; she graduates with honors and plans to go on for her Ph.D. Cheng, an academically driven, politically conservative Chinese American pre-law major defies his parents by taking a job as a high-risk investment banker in Singapore. Sam, a white, male, heterosexual "jock," accepts increasing campus diversity but still seeks his own cultural enclave in the BMOC fraternity. Brandi comes to Stanford as a logical consequence of her upper middle class African American background; but she drops out for two years to discover a reason of her own for going to college. Debbie "washes out" of her pre-med program and becomes disenchanted with her sorority; she switches to Women's Studies where she develops the self-confidence to go on to a prestigious med school. Together these concise case studies constitute a unique sociological investigation of continuity and change on today's college campuses. The film will help students, faculty and counselors discuss such issues as: the importance of student advisors and appropriate role models, especially for first-generation college students the pros and cons of taking time off during college the benefits of changing majors and revising career plansthe economic, peer and family pressures affecting career choicethe role of Greek life and ethnic "theme houses" in promoting cultural diversity - or campus Balkanization the development of individual and community identity on an increasingly polarized campus the reassuring fact that most undergraduates survive Freshman year and invent their own unique college experience
