3. Date a girl who doesn't read -- A revelation, a rant, on the stifling power of a woman with standards. Written by Charles Warnke.
4. Lennon -- A live dance piece using actual paint. We promise we won't fling it on you, but we can make no guarantees about the ceiling. Choreographed by Elizabeth Ann Poinsette.
5. One Trey -- A short film by Kevin Herrera starring Christopher Hampton and Kevin himself. Raw, gritty, honest and jaw-dropping performances. (6mins)
6. Just staring -- A young man enters on a bus and shares a glance with a young woman. The results are fatal. Another absurdist gem from Juan Amador.
7. Estoteric -- ...
8. Phone Sex -- Gwen and Josie are enjoying their new relationship, only problem is that Jose is 'out' to her family, and Gwen is not. Terrifying a lover, and popsicle face have no bounds. Written by Steven Vivell.
9. Pets-- This dominatrix and slave have a very special relationship, with very special concerns, and if they can conquer their problems together they can conquer the world. Written by Juan Amador.
10. Animated short film 'Love Sucks'-- Stop animation captures this tongue in cheek love story; written and directed by Jessamyn Prince.
11. Everyday Life -- A short film by Jessamyn Prince celebrating the minimal and precious.
12. Meet the Gaybors-- A PSA on the evil, EVIL wrong-doings in the gay community. A political satire. Written by Steven Vivell.
13. The Price of Life-- How much is your life worth to you really? When it gets down to dollars and cents, health care reform might just save lives. Written by Steven Vivell.
14. Christopher Hampton song-- Christopher Hampton is going to sing a song, acoustic or electric, we don't know. The suspense...
15. Christopher Bostrom song-- It rhymes and its fun. It's deep and whimsical.
