Performers - Chris Browning (Lead Actor), Josh Berry (Lead Actor)A light comedy set in Pie Town, New Mexico (a real town). The protagonist, Pete, an 'average Joe', has a flat tire out in the middle of nowhere and discovers he doesn't have a spare. He hitches a ride to the nearest town, which turns out to be Pie Town. While he's waiting for his flat to be fixed, he goes to a cafe for pie and coffee. The problem is, the piece of pie he wants is already spoken for -- by a big guy named Lester. The remainder of the film is a battle of wits to see who gets the pie. It has some nice twists and surprises.
 5. Psychic Life Of Plants
Paul, a 24-year-old university student, has the fight of his life when his ex-girlfriend, Becky, steals the subject of his thesis: two ficus trees. Becky decides to kill the plants as a symbol of their dying relationship. Things become desperate when Paul realises that his degenerating health, evidenced by a pernicious rash, is linked to that of the dying tree. As Paul's desperation to regain his trees (and his health) grows, he must resort to any means possible to get the ficuses from the grasp of Becky and her recently aquired new-age boyfriend.

 Spoken Word - Betty Krawczyk
Author and Activist Betty Krawczyk reads from her three books Clayoquot - The Sound of my Heart, Lock Me Up or Let Me Go and Open Living Confidential and discusses her struggle for the environment.
 Films - Fury For The Sound: The Women at Clayoquot
(Canada, 1997 52 minutes)
Director: Shelley Wine
What issue could be important enough for you to risk your personal freedom? A dramatic and inspiring documentary, FURY FOR THE SOUND: The Women at Clayoquot delineates with passionate clarity how a small group of dedicated activists came together to protest the clearcutting of the local rainforest, and 15 years later found themselves in the middle of the largest civil disobedience action in Canadian history. Women in their 70's and 80's being carted off to jail for months on end to serve prison time alongside pink-haired teenagers; 8-year olds debating ethics with uniformed police; women resisting arrest by suspending themselves from trees. A living document of grassroots environmental history in the making, this film is so much more than a story about trees.
 Music - Fuzzcat
Fuzzcat, Vancouver's funk-filled reggae rock attack, has been exploding Western Canadian dance floors since 2006. Danceable rhythms, infectious lyrics, and provocative musical arrangements have earned Fuzzcat a growing reputation as one of Vancouver's most exciting emerging bands.
