- If pro skateboarders have resumes, Tony Hawk's is undoubtedly among the longest and most envied. Though he's the most decorated skater ever with the highest contest win percentage of any sport and a $1 billion video game series, Hawk has arguably given more to the sport than he's received. Watching Hawk skate is testament to creativity and artistry as much as athleticism, as is his autobiography, which required a glossary to catalog the tricks that are his legacy to the skateboarding lexicon. His Tony Hawk Foundation has contributed over $4 million to develop 500 skate parks around the world. He's also been skating's foremost advocate, promoting it through some of its darkest days (though smashing his pelvis while attempting a full loop dressed in a gorilla suit probably doesn't count). Hawk joins Off Camera to talk about the evolution of the sport from its scrappy underground beginnings to X Games behemoth. He shares his thoughts on the vital role of creativity and artistry in athletics and his continued love and commitment to the sport. Now a father of 4 that can still stick the most difficult tricks ever invented, we learn why at 44, he still makes his primary living on four wheels.

- Done in the silent film tradition of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, "Don't Make Eye Contact" is a short film asking who is the last person you would want to run into outside your neighborhood grocery store. We've all seen them and if there's one thing they have in common it's that they all want something from us. "Don't Make Eye Contact" starts off with an innocent Girl Scout selling cookies and progresses slowly down the social ladder of vagabonds and chancers who set up shop outside heavily trafficked stores. Eventually we reach the very last person you would want to see and, try though you may, you cannot avoid making eye contact.
- A fantastical comedy where three listless losers are about to have their lives upended. Standing in their way, though, are assassins, cults, supernatural powers, and nervous mums.
- Aimee Mann, the Boston born singer/songwriter, Grammy winner and self-described Oscar loser, was recently named to NPR's list of the ten finest living songwriters. It was a well-deserved honor, and put her in the company of artists like Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, and Tom Waits. While Aimee Mann is widely acknowledged for her songwriting talent, her lesser-known role as an industry trailblazer is as laudable as it is fascinating. Starting with the sudden and disconcerting fame of her band 'Til Tuesday and spanning eight solo albums, the arc of her career has largely reflected, and in some ways shaped, the music business itself. Much of that career was defined by her struggle and just plain bad luck with record labels that couldn't see past Mann's model looks and the dollar signs in their eyes that she was not the artist they were molding her to be. In her struggle to stay true to herself as an artist, Mann chafed under contracts and finally started her own label in order to put out her finely-observed songs the way she wanted to put them out - a ground-breaking move at the time and one that paved the way for musicians just starting to navigate the chaos of the music business today. The irony? With no more Goliath labels to fight and at the absolute peak of her talent as a songwriter, the channels for distributing and making a living from music are disappearing. With surprising humor and optimism, Mann lets us in on her bumpy journey, a few surprising hobbies and why, after a career-long struggle to make a living with her art, she believes there's always a next step.

- Drug dealer, football player, alcoholic, shooting victim. In his first decade of acting, Michael B. Jordan has found ways to humanize characters that, on the page, may seem stereotypically what he dubs "the black guy." In The Wire, a young and very sheltered Jordan asked fellow actors to help him understand how to simulate a cocaine high onscreen, and through that surreal experience discovered his unfettered love of acting. In Friday Night Lights, Jordan started journaling as an acting exercise, and amassed a detailed back story for quarterback Vince Howard that made the character seem shockingly real. With Fruitvale Station, Jordan dug even deeper. Playing a real person for the first time, he inserted himself deep into the family of the slain Oscar Grant, who was killed by a police officer on a train platform in Oakland in 2009. Jordan spent time with Oscar's former girlfriend, mother, daughter, and all of his friends. The result was an intensely real portrayal of an innocent young man in a film that exposes our ongoing race problem in this country, and Jordan's performance was nuanced, understated, and masterful. Perhaps his ability to play characters with the odds stacked against him comes from his own desire not to fall into that lifestyle. Jordan started working very young, doing modeling and acting in commercials, and saw an acting career as a way out of the tough urban environment of Newark, New Jersey. In his words, he saw "plenty of Wallaces, Bodies, and Avon Barksdales," and was determined to make a better life for himself. Not only does Jordan not want to just "play the black guy," he also doesn't want to compare himself too closely to actors that came before. He says he doesn't want to be the next Will Smith, or the next Tom Cruise-he just wants to be himself. When you are around Jordan, his optimism and ambition are infectious and endearing. He doesn't just want to star in films - he wants to produce them. He doesn't want to just be on television, he wants his own channel. And he doesn't just want to be the face of a studio, he wants to run a studio. At Off Camera, we wouldn't bet against him doing anything he sets his mind to.
- Martin Short grew up in a family full of funny people. He staged make-believe talk shows in his attic and absorbed a steady TV diet of comedy masters like Carson, Rickles and Paar, and yet inexplicably dreamed of becoming a doctor. Or a dentist. Always serious about success, Short gave himself a one-year contract to make it in comedy before returning to school for a master's degree in a respectable medical field. Though we all know how things worked out, it's rare to find a budding comic with a backup plan. But Short is a rare comedian - one you'd both want to go out and drink with and who you would allow to watch your kids. Maybe due to his upbringing as the adored baby of a family who never discouraged his comedic pursuits, Short developed a self assurance uncommon to the standard performer's psyche. But it's as hard-earned as it is innate: Short prepares. He practices in mirrors. He plots sketches with index cards. He does his homework. He knows his audience, and when it comes to talk shows, he knows his hosts. He's an encyclopedia of the style nuances of everyone from Kimmel to Letterman. Short will tell you that confidence is the most important factor in any good performance, and it's likely what kept him on a steady rise through the ranks of improv and sketch comedy, and helped him avoid imploding from the pressures of being the new guy in the room with some of the genres' most intimidating names. Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest, Billy Crystal and Lorne Michaels were just a few of his early colleagues. It's not hard to imagine that Short's self possession is also at the root of some of his most precocious and obnoxious inventions. We find Ed Grimley and Jiminy Glick hysterical in direct proportion to their complete lack of self consciousness. Short's most beloved characters are his finely observed, albeit magnified versions of people we all know. Off Camera attempts to reconcile the frenetic showman, consummate comedy student and urbane purveyor of talk show banter as we ask, "Is this guy serious?"

The winner of the competition was given one opportunity to convert the "sweepstakes spare" (the 6-7-8-10) for a prize of $5,000 or more. In later years, a new Ford Mustang was offered as the prize for converting the sweepstakes spare.

- Anthony Head, international actor and star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, sets out to find out the truth behind the werewolf myth. Are they real or just the stuff of myth, folklore and Hollywood movies? Most of us are familiar with the idea of a werewolf: someone who can change into a wolf-like creature with an appetite for blood, but how did these tales come about and how have they been accepted as fact? Anthony Head travels around Europe, first to Greece where he delves into a 2,000-year-old account of werewolves and human sacrifice, and then to France where he uncovers the medieval tale of the most devastating attack by a werewolf - the Beast of Gévaudan - who tore off the heads of his victims. But not all tales come from the past and a modern tale of one of these terrifying beasts is revealed by Anthony Head. He meets with werewolf experts and discusses the possibility of whether werewolves are a form of delusion and a product of a disturbed mind, a person with a genetic problem, or shape-shifting monsters.
- What kid tells himself, "I know being a high school loner who reads comic books all the time will pay off for me"? One who winds up being a loner who reads comic books all the time. Or, one who winds up creating iconic comedies like Knocked Up, Superbad, and most recently, This Is 40. Enamored with comedy and comedians as a grade schooler, Judd Apatow set about interviewing his idols for WKWZ. The first thing he learned is that they're kind - no one kicked him out when they realized WKWZ was a high school radio station. While his comedies and the actors in them are household names, most fans are unaware they're the beneficiaries of a filmmaking approach Apatow is largely credited with developing. Fueled by self-doubt or maybe just any comedian's compulsive search for the ultimate killer line, Apatow shoots and tests multiple versions of almost every scene he films. His true genius may be his knack for identifying new and often unlikely talent, and letting it inform his scripts. This approach has elevated the not only the films themselves, but the careers of James Franco, Lena Dunham, Seth Rogen, Melissa McCarthy and Steve Carell, to name only a few. Perhaps due in part to his own painfully geekish childhood, he continues to remake Freaks and Geeks in work that lays bare our foibles, anger, lunacy and occasional transcendence. At once eviscerating and empathetic, he holds a mirror up to us and we laugh in recognition. Apatow has seen us naked, and we don't mind. Off Camera sits down with the crazy voice in all of our heads for an in-depth interview.
