Some films are funny. Other films are just hilarious. Still other films make you bust a gut. And then there are the films that make you shoot milk through your nose. Got milk? I hope not.

Hate *a comedy (dir. Drew Daywalt and David Schneider, 1999, 22 min., 35mm CinemScope, stars Paul Hungerford and a chicken) Why did the chicken cross the road? To stalk his next door neighbor! Fowl play ensues…

The Hat (dir. Terry Stacey and Julia Jordan, 1998, 10 min., 35mm, stars Heather Goldenrush, Dallas Roberts, Kate Grant) In the tradition of the classic silent films of Keaton and Chaplin-only with sound. The Hat is the tale of a woman who covets her neighbor's hat.

A Clockwork Maury (Bob Leddy, Jr., 2000, 15 min., 16mm) Maury Kubrick, younger brother of Stanley, is about to publish his memoirs. The filmmakers of this project spent three weeks with Maury, leading up to a book-signing at Barnes and Noble.
