The Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) is a nationwide network of free open-enrollment college-preparatory schools in under-resourced communities throughout the United States. KIPP schools are usually established under state charter school laws and KIPP is America’s largest network of charter schools. The head offices are in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.C..
KIPP was founded in 1994 by Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin, two Teach For America corps members. In 1995, they opened two KIPP middle schools, one in Houston and one in New York City. Both schools were among the highest-performing schools in their communities by 1999. KIPP was one of the charter school organizations to help produce the Relay Graduate School of Education for teacher training.
KIPP began in 1994 after co-founders Dave Levin and Mike Feinberg completed their two-year commitment to Teach For America. A year later, Feinberg and Levin launched a program for fifth graders in a public school in inner-city Houston, Texas. Feinberg developed KIPP Academy Houston into a charter school, while Levin went on to establish KIPP Academy New York in the South Bronx. The original KIPP Academies have a sustained record of high student achievement.

Plot: You wake up in a white room. A few chairs line the walls. You see a phone. Two doors. Nothing else. Innately you know, time does not exist here. Welcome to THE WAITING ROOM. THE WAITING ROOM tells the story of IRIS BLACK, a depressive, successful and painfully narcissistic pop star who has been killed in a car accident by a drunk driver and finds herself in the waiting room with TESSA, a quirky, optimistic and very lonely guide whose purpose lies in debriefing and helping new souls transition to the next step of their journey. One of the two doors leads to the mysterious Beyond. The other door returns them to earth for a second chance to correct their mistakes. The mysterious clock marks when the phone call will come, which determines which door the waiting soul will go through. The protocol is always the same. The new soul arrives and is debriefed by Tessa. The information is submitted and the phone rings, always at the exact same time. Except for in Iris' case, the phone call never comes. She's stuck. With Tessa. Possibly forever.

Plot: A spoof of typical 1980's teen movies. The idea is that VH1 found a "long-lost", never-released teen film made in the 1980's and decided to air it now in 2006; thus it is loaded with the typical formula, clichés, bad fashions, and stereotypical characters found in those movies and makes fun of them.

Plot: Michael Elgin, former high school track star, now in his thirties, is floundering. He keeps life's realities at bay by having too many cocktails a few nights too often. One night, he crashes into a tree, emerges unscathed but catalyzes those who care into organizing an intervention. Michael comes home to find the group waiting: his friends, co-workers, parents, his wife, his new girlfriend. The group is nervous. The psychiatrist who was supposed to guide them is stuck in town with a suicidal patient. True to form, Michael takes over, and turns the event into yet another party. All the invitees start drinking themselves and the event spirals out of control. Secrets are revealed, emotions erupt, relationships disintegrate and Michael's life comes crashing down around him. In the aftermath, as he tries to pick up the pieces, Michael finally hits bottom, and is forced to face his demons.
