Jack in the Box
Created by: Michael Cyril Creighton and Marcie Hume
Friday, 9/16 @ 9:00 pm
|
| Jack loved theatre…until he sold tickets for it. A mild-mannered young man with a BFA in acting and no life skills, he took a job at a box office because it didn’t involve lifting, blazers or Excel. Thousands of customers later, Jack finds himself less mild-mannered than ever before. He attempts to manage his anger, but, like all caged animals, he is going to start throwing things at passersby sooner or later. Service with a smirk is all you can ask for.

It’s All Elementary

Friday, 9/30 @ 9:00 pm
|
| “9 AM Meeting” follows two unassuming office drones who are stuck in an early morning meeting that their boss may or may not have entirely forgotten. Unwilling to go back to work, the two are forced to make idle chatter to pass the time. These discussions quickly veer from the mundane to the absurd, and every flight of fancy is visualized via 9 AM Meeting’s unique cartoon style. If The Office and Waiting for Godot had a baby, that baby’s best friend might well be “9 AM Meeting.”
A GUY AND HIS BEAVER
A guy navigates through life with the help of his friend, sidekick and life coach: a beaver. Beaver’s simple ways and annoyed teeth wiggling hide a wisdom and affection that guide Guy through the many mundane events of his life. Follow along as the two trick-or-treat, go on pencil-filled dates, try to understand the intricacies of spooning, and so much more in this delightfully tender look at friendship between A Guy and his Beaver.
IT’S ALL ELEMENTARY
“It’s All Elementary” is a stop motion animation series that focuses on the life of a cynical but socially awkward child author Jeffrey “Goodie” Goode and his brave attempt to save the students of C. R. Bling Elementary from the school’s mindless Hollywood driven superficiality and the principal who loves it. The show’s edgy but family friendly humor lampoons American pop culture, social issues, and many aspects of the entertainment industry.

| “Bush Cooking” gives unique access to everyday African cooking and culture. In Malawi, host Vincent describes the meal as he and his family begin preparing it. He and “Bush Cooking” animator, Nick Vranizan, highlight the distinctions between African and Western cooking. While the meal simmers, Vincent also shares the differences and positive traditions of his culture. The meal may only cost pennies, but it is finer than food at the fanciest western restaurant.
AMERICAN SURF DESIGN
JP and Andrea Holeman balance their relationship and custom surfboard business as if they’re riding a monstrous wave–one wrong move could send them into a disastrous crash. Balancing eco-friendly practices and inventive surf designs, the Holemans work to make their business as profitable and life-fulfilling as possible. Of course, when you have employees bringing their larger-than-life personalities to the table, it’s not always easy to get things done.
STREAK TO WIN
“Streak to Win” chronicles the Hamilton College Varsity Streaking Team’s rise to Division III Champions. The squad transforms the age-old college prank into a college sport, wreaking tongue-and-cheek havoc through college classrooms, libraries, quads and sporting events across New England. With an incredible sensitivity to pop culture and the mythology surrounding America’s greatest athletes and sports stories, the tour is a parody of the classic sports tale rife with internal conflict, but also a greater desire to succeed.

“A Okay” is a darkly funny and occasionally sweet look at the selfish nature of friendship: its gives and takes, fights and forgiveness. The pilot features beleaguered children’s television host Mike as he scrambles to save his ratings-challenged show, Veggie Ventures. His roommates Sam and MG, meanwhile, encounter ragers, suicide, and possible new love, all to find a dining room table. Life is weird, surprising, and usually a little screwed up, but in the end it’s all going to be A Okay.

| “Rolling” is a show about two friends chasing their dream by starting at the bottom, a theme anyone can relate to…it just happens to be set in the world of making television. Danny and Harry have landed their dream jobs working on the hit crime show Citizen’s Arrest: Miami. They’re given entry-level positions as Production Assistants and they quickly learn that it’s going to be a long road.

CAPTAIN COULIER
Sick of the pressure from his parents to become successful on Planet Earth, Anthony Coulier impulsively signed up for the “Explorer Project.” This government program, created to curb overpopulation, offers willing bodies great incentives: free room and board, a ray-gun, and a flying saucer to scour the universe. Although lured to space by the promise of action, adventure, and glory, Coulier now battles space travel’s greatest obstacle… boredom.
