Swingers' Serenade
Danny Plotnick
Alison Faith Levy, Miles Montalbano
A character referred to as "The Professor" introduces and comments on a filmed version of a supposed script from a 1960's home movie-making magazine. Even though the target audience would presumably be making the film at home and casting their friends and family, the script is an extremely suggestive tale of a housewife being seduced by a traveling salesman.

Fame Whore
Jon Moritsugu
Peter Friedrich, Victor of Aquitaine
This film involves three interwoven stories with the only seeming connection being the delusions of the involved leads. In the first element of the film, a hot-tempered world tennis star loses endorsement contracts when the press outs him even though he claims the report is false. In the second, a talent-less woman struggles to make it in the world of fashion design or the music video business. In the last, an animal activist runs a dog-adoption agency and has an imaginary friend who appears in a St. Bernard suit.

Pillow Talk
Danny Plotnick
Extreme manipulation of filmic time and space combined with an impressionistic lighting scheme help create an urban spaces nightmare. A woman living by herself is having a hard time, downstairs the neighbours are fighting, next door they're having extremely loud sex, an old lady's stealing her clothes in the laundry room, and worst of all, she's no better than the rest.

Along the way there are some dark, dank and humiliating moments. The Tour Tips series will address some of these pitfalls to better prepare the travelling artiste for his or her journey down the wrong side of the road.

Death Sled II: Steel Belted Romeos
Danny Plotnick
A tale of backwoods blacktop mayhem--Two dim-witted, lead-footed guidos from Bayonne, New Jersey bust through stoplight after stoplight in their turbo-charged, fuel-injected Pontiac Grand Prix until their mean machine nearly eighty-sixes another hunk of American steel. And that's just the start of it...A confrontation, an assault, fists-a-flying, and traffic violations.
