Douglas, Alaska hosted the world premiere in May 2003. The down to earth drama is set in San Pedro, California. Walter Griffin once managed to float above the earth in a lawn chair suspended from weather balloons, achieving 15 minutes of fame and an offer from the Smithsonian for the chair. Sixteen years later, Walter is still tinkering with ideas for inventions that will help him become airborne again and has imaginary conversations with French wire walker Philippe Petit. Walter's 16-year-old son, Mikey, languishes, and his wife, Helen, dutifully supports the family as a postal worker. It is a fascinating and affecting look into a dysfunctional California family.

Tip of My Tongue: Two boys, harassed by summer chores, decide to run away from home. They stop to rest at a clearing in the woods, and are awakened by hand puppet characters. The puppets issue mysterious warnings of trouble. Easily recognizable villains, heroes and heroines from children's literature, who mistake them for Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, surround the boys. Unable to escape, they undergo a farcical trial in which they fail to prove they aren't Tom and Huck. Longing for home, they accept their fates. They are saved in a challenge, which proves their true identities. And, they are discovered to be the heroes of a brand new story being written at this very moment! Also featured will be Haunted Houses: On a summer night four friends enter the abandoned, dark mansion that overlooks their town. Once inside, their imaginations and their fears guide them to the phantoms of their minds. As they tell their personal stories of rejection, hazing, isolation and threats of abuse, they touch on terrifying phantoms. In sharing their stories and finding courage for each other, each bravely grasps important clues for living better and helping each other.

Greg and Kate have moved to the city after twenty-two years of child raising in the suburbs. Greg's career is winding down.  Kate’s career is beginning to offer her more opportunities. Greg brings home a dog he found in the park—or that has found him—bearing only the name "Sylvia" on her nametag. A street-smart mixture of Lab and Poodle, Sylvia becomes a major controversy between husband and wife. She offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age. To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn't understand the relationship between man and dog. The marriage is put in serious jeopardy until, after a series of hilarious and touching complications, Greg and Kate learn to compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives.
