Globalization Gone Wild (David Redmon)

[ 03:08 ]
The Mardi Gras bead first appears as a trivial commodity, but with humor and deadpan comedy, director David Redmon carefully shows the connections between nudity, labor, petroleum, and protest.

The R.O.M.E.O.S Ep.2 (Katy Chevigny)
ROMEO is an acronym for 'Retired Old Men Eating Out' and features an informal club of retired lawyers, writers and intellectuals who meet every week at a classic New York diner. It is a long lunch to talk about anything and everything; telling old jokes, making fun of each other, complaining about politics.

The Transition (James Allen Smith)
The advent of computerized trading is forcing floor traders to make a sobering choice: adapt or get out. In 'The Transition', we meet Rob Proniewski, a trader faced with such a decision. It's a way of life, of ego and excess that can't be found anywhere else - but it's disappearing like so many parts of our increasingly digitized world. What path will he choose and what are the obstacles that stand in his way?

Blog Stalker (Todd Rohal)
It started as office gossip: Did you see the latest installment of that girl’s blog? The blogger, a high school ugly duckling, had become obsessed with a cheerleader, harassing her by phone and in school and pouring out her neuroses into her blog, which one of the office workers had stumbled on. Soon the entire office, up through HR, were following her tortured ramblings.

The R.O.M.E.O.S (Katy Chevigny)
The ROMEOS is a short documentary film about long relationships - good conversation amongst old friends. And we're talking old friends. The ROMEOs is an informal club of 5 old time New Yorkers, men aged 72-87, who have met every week for the past 20 years at the Metro Diner in New York City. It is a long lunch to talk about anything and everything; telling old jokes, making fun of each other, complaining about politics. Naturally they have nicknames: Mr. Indignant (his capacity for outrage knows no bounds), Mr. Google (this guy knows everything, you won't believe it), and The Token Goy. They are retired lawyers, writers and left-wing troublemakers and they are utterly hilarious without even trying.

A Minute of Your Time: "Going Naked"
Following the insurance industry's across the board move to raise rates by as much as 39%, many Americans have decided to "go naked" by opting out of insurance entirely. While it may sound risky, for some it represents the most reliable alternative to an insurance industry that has, over the last two decades, coalesced into just seven companies - a monopoly if there ever was one, and an unregulated one, at that.
