"Karl Mulberry:" Set against a world of roller blades, water balloons and  accordions, "Karl Mulberry" is a comedy about a conflicted sixteen year old boy who needs a father, but doesn't want to lose his mother.

"Dates on Tape:" Kevin Spacey, a man of many talents, is single and ready to mingle. Watch as he tells you a little about his best...attributes.

"The Interview:" The last man on earth tries to get a job from the second-to-last man on earth. 

"Adoption Agency:" Before Kim Jong Il (Rex Lee from HBO's Entourage) can adopt an American baby worthy enough to take over his empire, he must first charm the panel of interviewers at the adoption agency. 

"WROARF:" Support a recession-hit American family for just four hundred dollars per day, plus tax.  

"Dik:" A concerned father of a 6-year-old takes it the wrong way. 

"What Up Little Kid:" A music video dedicated to all the little kids out there. 

"Bear Force One:" Two eager, naive guys pitch their idea for the movie "Bear Force One" to a Hollywood executive. While leaving Alaskan bear country, bears take over the President's airplane, and now it's up to the Commander in Chief, a secret service guard, and a flight attendant to regain control at 30,000 feet in this satire of airplane/hijacking films.
