Synopsis: In this new buran a young writer seeks to discover
the history of his great-grandfather, a Polish immigrant who, according to myth, was a prize-winning boxer, the inventor of
the Nabisco cookie, and spoke only in verse. As legend only leads him deeper into uncertainty, our protagonist makes the trek
to Krakow, Poland only to find that his play, “Bournijka the Boxer,” which he hasn’t written yet, is already
being produced and he must transcribe and plagiarize his own work to get to the heart of his family’s deep rooted mythology. Cast: Amy Virginia Buchanan Dale Buchheister Joshua Dixon Ryan Downey Jean Goto Dylan Jackson Scott Johnson Erik

to her estate (a 19th century cotton plantation), bankrupt, after many years of travel. Upon returning she is greeted by three
of her ex-slaves, Bubba (a mechanic), Thomas, (a scholar) and Lott (a businessman), who warn her that the mortgage has not
been paid and that the estate is to be auctioned off. While Bubba builds a rocket that will take him to the moon, and Thomas
