R.J. Cutler's The September Issue premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and was enthusiastically embraced by audiences, critics and the Grand Jury alike. A total of nine screenings of the film played to sold-out houses, none more memorable than the Park City premiere at the Temple Theater that was followed by a Q & A session between Cutler, Anna Wintour and Festival Director John Cooper. Hailed as "Mesmerizing" by the New York Times, "Delicious" by salon.com and "Luscious and Feisty" by Entertainment Weekly, the film was also honored as the recipient of the Grand Jury Award for Excellence in Cinematography.

In the days following the festival, A&E IndieFilms and Actual Reality Pictures proudly announced that they had closed a deal with Roadside Attractions for theatrical distribution in North America. The film will open in theaters this coming September, with home video to follow and a television premiere on A&E in the fall of 2010. Worldwide rights to the film are being sold by Wild Bunch Films and Elle Driver, and theatrical deals have already been made for England and Australia.

Across America, a new trend in real estate is taking place. Realtors are loading up buses and taking their show on the road! Every weekend, Real Estate firms are filling up buses with potential buyers and driving them to amazing housing deals. Deals on the Bus goes from city to city meeting local realtors as well as their potential buyers. We highlight three different potential buyers and get an understanding of what they are looking for. Competition on the bus runs fierce when the buyers realize they aren't the only ones interested in a particular house. At the end of every tour, people snatch up homes they otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford. From small family starter homes to million dollar houses, there is a house for everyone on these tours.
