Fatboy: The Movie tracks the circuitous route of Miles Forman on his quest to lose 50 pounds. Stunned by the notion that he could be fat for the rest of his life, determination kicks in. Inspiration arrives. Action follows. With gritty resolution, a sense of humor and true humility, Miles exposes himself in front of Landsberg's cameras in his last ditch effort to win the war. Miles is one of multimillions of Americans whose dysfunctional upbringing paved the way for a life of inactivity, self-loathing and the constant burden of being overweight. As he peels off the pounds, we discover why the odds are against us. America's poor eating habits go hand in hand with our obsession for "quick-fix" fad diets. FATBOY is interspersed with startling facts and figures, uncovering a general ignorance about weight loss programs and exposing the diet industry whose annual profits of $40 billion continue to expand in tandem with America's waistlines.

Many have never ridden the bus. Some have never thought about it. For others, the bus is the backbone of American transportation. Award winning filmmaker Alan M. Whitney set out across America on the bus to meet these people. The result is the nostalgic film "Ridin' the Dog!" - an unauthorized and uncensored feature documentary that chronicles the stories, opinions and emotions of the riders encountered on the interstate bus system during this recent cross country trip. The riders touch on who they are, their wildest and most memorable experiences on the bus, their views on social issues such as Cuba, Katrina, immigration and Las Vegas and conclude with their message for the world. The film will make you gasp, laugh and cry as it exposes the full spectrum of subcultures of the regular bus riders from their mutual respect and willingness to help each other to their conquests, exploits and vices.
