Default Movie Investment and Passive Losses

Taxpayers invested in a movie. After the 2004 return was
filed they received a K-1 indicating a $12,000 ordinary
business loss. I assume this is a passive loss since they
were not actively involved with the production of this
movie. Since they do not have any other passive losses,
will they have to just carry the loss forward until they get
passive income to offset this loss? When they sell or
dispose of their interest, can they write off the loss up to
their capital account in the partnership at that time? And
last, how does this affect AMT?
