Room for Rent (89 Min) (Canada) When a reclusive man-child convinces his parents to rent their spare room to save from downsizing, a stranger with a hidden agenda moves in. Starring Mark Little, Mark McKinney, Stephanie Weir.

For the Love of George (89 Min) (United States) It's a comedy about a British woman who discovers her husband cheating on her and sets off to Los Angeles hoping to meet her dream man i.e., George Clooney! Through a funny series of near misses and unrelated adventures, she comes to the understanding that her destiny is in herself, not in any man, no matter how seemingly perfect. Starring Nadia Jordan, Rex Lee, Kristen Johnston, Rosanna Arquette.

Love in Moreno Valley (80 Min) (United States) Straight out of MoVal, a multi-cultural suburb in California, James plays guitar in his room and hides from his emotionally unstable single-father whose fantasy baseball obsession and romantic life render him intolerable. Once tenth grade begins at Vista Christian High School, James is reunited with his unlikely best friend, Abe, a wildchild whose antics draw a lot of negative attention to both he and James, much to the chagrin of their odd, stringent principal, Mr. Durante. Meanwhile, James is preoccupied with trying to impress a cute Latina named Carla, only to find Abe’s outrageous antics are hurting his chances. Things only get worse for the duo when Principal Durante punishes them by forcing them to perform during the weekly chapel assembly.

Something Out of Nothing (54 Min) (United States) Jack Farrell, a Chicago improv performer and teacher, and Josh DaSilva, Chicago filmmaker, set out to discuss why and how improv After School Matters programs work and why. The film was DaSilva's master thesis project for DePaul University. Interviews with Susan Messing and Dionna Griffins.

Special Unit (102 Min) (United States) Due to the fairness in disabilities act, the Van Nuys P.D. is forced to hire four handicapped undercover detectives, and their training officer is the worst cop in L.A.. Starring and produced by Christopher Titus. A note from Titus: "This movie was written to cross that line and stop making them "Special" and instead, make them just like us. Able, angry, funny, demanding, funny, fearless and again, funny. We did not treat them precious at all in this script. You can't make a difference feathering the accelerator so in this movie we pulled the PC limiter and dropped the hammer. The idea for SPECIAL UNIT came to me in a flash and I had to pull my car over because I was laughing so hard. Combustion Films' motto is "Funny First", but after we get that, we want to make a difference with whatever we do. 
 
Everybody Has an Andy Dick Story (77 Min) (United States) Every generation has it's legendary characters. The icons who have lived outrageous lives, created hilarious stories that only their closest friends have access to. This documentary makes you feel like you are a part of it. Like you are at the party. And because Andy has created thousands of great stories, there's a pretty good chance that you have a story about him. And let's face it, after decades of partying, these people just might remember the stories just a little bit better than Andy does. Interviews with Pauly Shore, Kate Flannery, Margaret Cho, Ben Stiller, Ray Charles, Kathy Griffin, and more make this documentary one wild ride.
