- Shipped: Storytelling
  Shipped on 11/17/08. Storytelling -- it's how we turn fact into fiction, lies into truth. Writer-director Todd Solondz (Happiness, Welcome to the Dollhouse) presents two stories -- "Fiction" and "Non-Fiction" -- focusing on the racial and sexual tension bubbling in a college writing class and the hidden fractures in a suburban household. Raw, chilling and wrenching, Storytelling is a modern fable for people who don't need happy endings.

- 001- Live Flesh
  One of director Pedro Almod�var's best films recounts the story of Victor, born on a bus to prostitute Pen�lope Cruz. As a troubled teen, Victor is in the apartment of drug addict Elena (Francesca Neri). He accidentally shoots a policeman and gets sent to prison. Years later, Victor learns Elena has married the now-paralyzed cop, and he begins to stalk her!
- 002- Stevie
  When director Steve James (Hoop Dreams) attended Southern Illinois University, he became Stevie Fielding's Advocate Big Brother. Stevie was a demanding, hyperactive child living a heartbreaking life. When James relocated to Chicago to begin a film career in 1985, he ended his formal duties to Stevie. Ten years later, James again visits Stevie (now in his mid-twenties) and finds out what happened to him in the interim. Not a pretty story.
- 003- Transamerica
  Bree (Felicity Huffman) gets the shock of her life when a week before her final sex change surgery she discovers a son she didn't know she had.

Tension mounts as the survivors adapt to their new reality and try to learn to trust one another.
