Zeppo!

*Jury Special Mention*
Zeppo finds a balloon and is overwhelmed with joy. After tragedy strikes, the cruel mundanity of life takes control once again, leading Zeppo down a surreal path of self acceptance.

*Vermont Premiere*
Old lovers reunite, a friendship is betrayed, a pet is killed, a runaway discovered, and a co-worker comes back from the dead in these droll interconnected tales about suffering from kindness.
