BARD IN THE BACKCOUNTRY is a behind-the-scenes look at a summer of Montana Shakespeare in the Parks-from first read through to final performance. The documentary chronicles a summer season with a cast of 10 actors as they journey more than 6,500 miles to perform Shakespeare in the rural towns of this vast region. As these young actors travel hundreds of miles every day to set up their stage, don their costumes and perform their roles, they learn about the discipline of a traveling company, the generosity of spirit needed to become part of a team, and the sheer magnitude of the terrain found across Montana. The landscape itself is a primary force in the players' experience as they perform each night in a new location. The tour leads them into the lives of residents in these communities, some as small as 14 people. Many of the people encountered are loyal fans who have seen Shakespeare rendered every summer for 40 years. At the heart of the story is a sense of transformation for the players and for the residents of Montana whose lives have been touched by this beloved company. BARD IN THE BACKCOUNTRY reveals the mutual impact the traveling tour has on these young actors and the people who put in the effort to bring Shakespeare to town. This journey provides a glimpse of the relevance that classic Shakespearean theater still holds for the townspeople across the region.

A TV news reporter must confront her epilepsy after being fired over a seizure. Stacia Kalinoski pursues brain surgery, and documents her journey as a way to raise awareness about the brain disorder that affects 1 in 26 people. The "Grand mal" (tonic clonic) is the image most commonly associated with seizures, but the true face of epilepsy is extremely complex because there are so many types. The misunderstanding surrounding this mysterious brain disorder has arguably led to the strong stigma.

Burt takes a quick look at the history of communication from the cavemen to the alphorn, to the telephone and finally the cellphone. He traces how the cellphone has changed his work and family life as he travels around the world. He also tracks down a series of stories in the United States and Europe that suggests that the cellphone may not be as safe as most of us thought. He meets with experts in England, Italy, France and the United States to find out how we can deal with the problems that are emerging. And finally, Burt follows an Apple developer's conference where they are working on apps to limit your use of their own products.

Burt travels through Europe and the United States looking at the history of great artists who were never appreciated during their lifetime. Vincent Van Gogh lived at the end of the 1800s and during his life sold one or two paintings. These days, a single work by Van Gogh goes for over $100 million dollars. Same for Van Gogh's friend, Paul Gauguin. Ignored during his life, now his works sell for over $ 300 million a painting. Burt talks about his desire to become a painter or photographer and how his need to pay the rent ended that plan. He introduces us to a non-profit organization called Artrepeneur that is trying to show artists how to sell their works.

Burt learns how painters, sculptures, photographers and other artists can use a non-profit organization to bring their work to the attention of the public. He traces the success of two artists, one in Europe and one in the United States and how they used the internet to gain access to the art market with being represented by a major gallery. He shows us how to use the internet to present our own works and why the idea of being an unknown artist might be coming to an end.

One of the first questions that come to mind when we travel is, "Where should we eat?" Deciding on the right restaurant becomes an essential part of our travel plans and it's surprising to realize that just about everything that makes up a modern restaurant --- street floor access, a receptionist, seating, the wait staff, the kitchen in the back, and a written invoice --- was developed in Paris during a 50-year period starting in 1765. In this program, Burt travels around and looks at how these basic elements come together these days, when someone decides to open a restaurant.

In Part One of Making A Restaurant, we saw how a restaurant starts with an idea, followed by a detailed outline for the food you want to serve, a proforma business plan to make sure you have enough money, the staffing, the music and the bar. In Part Two, Burt spends time with one of the most successful restaurant families in America, and sees how the younger generation adapts the restaurant business to a set of new interests, including the revival of the Tiki Bar, the growing popularity of a Japanese soup developed in World War II, and the modern outdoor food festival.

As Burt and his family travel around the world they are constantly confronted with the newest advances in wireless communication. Cellphones, pads, computers, earphones, and sleep monitors were well-known to him. But in Hong Kong he saw a Jump Rope connect to a mobile app. A doctor in New York suggested a wireless blood pressure monitor. In Chicago he saw a wireless device to improve your posture and a friend's house in Florida has a wireless smart water controller. At the same time, he began to see more and more research about the dangers of the radio frequency radiation that is associated with these devices. Of special interest were the antennas, cell towers and street polls that empower the system. This program explains what he saw and how to protect yourself.

Born profoundly deaf, Darren Weiss was a frustrated child. While powerful hearing aids helped him pick up some sounds, by age four Darren had no grasp of language. CHEF DARREN: THE CHALLENGE OF PROFOUND DEAFNESS explores the impact of the family members and teachers who refused to let Darren's challenges keep him from communicating and documents how, with determination, Darren ultimately learned to speak and became a father, a teacher and the chef of his own trend-setting Los Angeles restaurant. As a child, Darren attended classes and therapy sessions at noted speech pathologist Helen Beebe's clinic in Easton, Pennsylvania. Despite the intensive work, Darren showed little progress in developing language skills. In the film, Darren and his family recount the pivotal period when Darren's work with one therapist at the clinic clicked, and he began to speak and express himself. After attending and graduating from public school with hearing children, Darren was left with the question of what to do next. A lifelong passion for cooking led Darren to earn his degree at the Culinary Institute of America in New York, and later, to open a successful restaurant in Southern California. Today, working with the organization No Limits for Deaf Children, Darren leads hands-on cooking classes for hearing-impaired kids that help empower his students. With deaf-owned businesses on the rise around the country and deaf culture thriving, CHEF DARREN is an inspirational program about living with a disability while accomplishing goals.
