Plot: Zoe is a modern dance instructor / hippie-of-all-trades who finds her mission in a vision: bring the spirit of the earth-goddess to the people through a swing dancing performance.

What she ends up with is a collection of Mormons, security guards, bad stand-up comics, and an Eminem-wannabe named Trevor. This motley crew must navigate a world filled with crazy hippies being shaken, pregnant bartenders, and sociopathic dance performance organizers. Can the troupe stay together? Can they manage to dance well enough to avoid the wrath of Gaia? Can a reasonable analogy be drawn between societal cohesiveness and potato salad? This mockumentary answers these questions and more.

Plot: Frank Capra's last film was a documentary for Martin Marietta Corporation, shown at the Hall of Science Pavilion of the New York World's Fair of 1964-1965. After a series of scenes of Earth from space, narrator Danny Thomas gets various opinions on space travel from "the man in the street" (actually, actor Sid Melton and players from other Capra films like Charles Lane, Alan Reed, Doodles Weaver and John Litel, plus a black woman, an Asian man, a heavyset woman, a man with a large family, and a no-nonsense type who says knowledge isn't expensive, ignorance is.) Animated sections illustrate the invention of gunpowder, a typical space shuttle visit to resupply a space station, and the problems to be overcome living for long periods in space.

Genres: Animation, Music, Short,She said look at the moon, it's like a fingernail clipping
The sliver of light in the cold black sky
I gave her my coat, held her close and she cried
As the sun came up over the jagged sky line, the silence amplified our
Beating hearts
And I didn't answer when she asked why
Chorus:
One life to live and many paths to take
One twists and turns and falls away
And flowers bloom in brilliant light and fade into the night
So much to lose or so it seems, these idol games and children's dreams
How they confound and split the seams inside my mind I just keep moving on
Into the unknown
And I am walking alone by the St. Augustine bell thinking about you since
You went away
We used to sit here and watch as the shadows played
And if I try real hard, I can remember that sound ringing out just like a
Echoing off of the wall of the dark arcade
Chorus
You know being alone feels like I'm holding my breath
I try to be cool, I try to push it down
I walk like I know
And the city's freaks are the face of a beast
It's always dark but he never sleeps
I crawl with the silence backed up by freaks come on
I'm getting on
