  • Math for Actors (Short Comedy)

    Math meets mayhem when studious Kate agrees to tutor Keith, an arrogant actor who's more interested in Kate than in calculus. He shows up late, he's still in costume, and he doesn't know or care what the angle of inclination is. Answering such burning questions as how many actors it takes to screw in a light bulb, Math for Actors explores the relationship between art and algebra, and finds a common denominator.

  • Occupy Walmart (Short Comedy)

    Deep in the aisles of a Super-Walmart live a band of women who've run away from home. Becky, a mom on the run, has taken over the International Food Aisle...because no one ever goes in an international food aisle. There, she dreams of all the romantic vacations she and her husband could have taken, and who they could have been, if the baby hadn't come. So when her husband calls, she doesn't pick up. Even though he's not that good at babysitting, and he's pretty sure the baby should not be blue, and everything's starting to smell now, and he can't find the matches to light the scented candles, and maybe, totally by accident, he sets the kitchen on fire...

    Occupy Walmart examines why it's important to run away, and why it's just as important to run back home.
