Join Tom and Debbie Nicholson as they reminisce with joy and good humor about the parade of unlikely pets they have taken in over the years. From an obese chicken to a paraplegic possum to a fish that couldn't swim, it seems the Nicholsons have never met an animal they couldn't love. With a knack for fashioning homegrown solutions, Tom and Debbie nurse members of their brood through an assortment of unfortunate maladies. Some beat the odds and live a long, full life, while other furry and feathered friends meet an untimely—and often tragic—end. Told through a series of light-hearted interviews, recreations, and animations, the film captures the Nicholsons’ unwavering dedication to their motley crew and offers up an endearing look at the human capacity for caring, the deep bonds we often share with our pets, and the sometimes absurd lengths we are willing to go for the creatures we love.

ZIPPER: Coney Island's Last Wild Ride
Amy Nicholson
A story about greed, politics and the land grab of the century, ZIPPER chronicles the battle over an American cultural icon. Small-time ride operator, Eddie Miranda, proudly operates a carnival contraption called the Zipper in the heart of Coney Island's gritty amusement district. When his rented lot is snatched up by a real estate mogul, Eddie and his ride become casualties of a power struggle between the developer and the City of New York over the future of the world-famous destination. Be it an affront to history or simply the path of progress, the spirit of Coney Island is at stake. In an increasingly corporate landscape, where authenticity is often sacrificed for economic growth, the Zipper may be just the beginning of what is lost.
