Xavier added: "I'm delighted to be seeing these films find a home and with the extraordinary talents of Michael Kureth, Jo Ann Smith and Duck Richardson who are among the best co-workers you can have. Together, we're committed to capturing on film the same magic that audiences saw at the premieres of these five films being released now for the first time ever".

DODGE CITY (2007) - http://www.metpix.com/#/?movie=dc
Dodge City is Xavier's first urban drama shot entirely in Baltimore City with the cooperation of the Baltimore City Police Department. Dodge City is an urban drama/musical in the tradition of "West Side Story", only it's happening all on the East Side. The film is told from four different gangs points of views. After the shooting death of a young girl, her father, gang leader Johnny Johnson (newcomer Tony Glover) seeks retribution against everyone in Dodge City (Baltimore) except for ex-gang member turned amateur race car driver, Teddy Bear, (Derrick Purvey, Big Man on the season finale of HBO's 'The Wire') who must do something to stop the madness. It's a blend of music, murder and mayhem.  It's what happens around the corner from "The Wire".

"The Image Photo Award Winner" to Francis Xavier, Writer/Director
"Dodge City is the realism in the visual arts as the film depicts subjects as they appear in everyday life, without embellishment or interpretation" - Jay Bennett, Media Expressions
THE TANGO DANCER (2006) - http://www.metpix.com/#/?movie=td
The Tango Dancer tells the story of Sabatino Gardel (Johnny Alonso, Dawson's Creek, OC), a nightclub owner who sees visions of murder from a serial killer's point of view.

"A film of questionable taste, but I loved It" - Robert Duvall, Actor/Director

NIGHT CRY (2005) - http://www.metpix.com/#/?movie=nc
His third feature film "Night Cry" (2005) is a trilogy in the tradition of "Alfred Hitchcock, Presents" and "The Twilight Zone".

JOHNNY COME LATELY (2004) - http://www.metpix.com/#/?movie=jcl
Johnny Come Lately (2004) Xavier's second feature is just as unusual. In the story, Paul Washington, a former serial killer profiler, must help the Aberdeen, Maryland Police Department track down a child murdering cannibal. This time Xavier would play the lead role. The story takes an uncanny twist as his character Paul Washington starts communicating with the dead.

"One of the most bizarre films ever made" - Featured on CBS' Inside Edition

BARRY'S GIFT (2000) - http://www.metpix.com/#/?movie=bg
Barry's Gift, an official 2000 Maryland Film Festival Selection in which Xavier wrote, produced and directed the film, tells the story of Barry Russell, played by Lance Irwin (Mowi, second season of HBO's 'The Wire') a small time psychic who makes his living doing Tarot Card readings. When a dying, elderly tycoon (the late Richard Ruxton) offers Barry big money to try to bring him back after his demise, Barry conjures up a showy spell to impress the old guy. No one is more surprised than Barry when the antic really works and the dead millionaire rises up as good as new! With the help of a crafty PR agent, played by Xavier, Barry's 'gift' attracts attention and he begins repeating this miraculous feat. But Barry doesn't bother to learn how to return the souls to the bodies when resurrecting it. Before long the undead start a murderous rampage.
