- Three high school virgins, suspended from school on a bogus graffiti charge, flee to the inner city in an attempt to live out the plot of The Catcher in the Rye - a book they neither have read nor understand. BINDLESTIFFS documents their struggles along the way as they surrender their virginities to vagrants, prostitutes, and crack fiends. Hot on their tail is Charlie, the deranged school security guard. Under the impression that the boys are planning a school shooting, he takes the law into his own hands to stop them and save America.
- The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus follows a sex-positive, socially conscious troupe of contemporary circus, vaudeville, burlesque and sideshow performers behind the scenes during their annual Winter Cabaret in Brooklyn and regional tours of the United States and Canada. Step right up as this close-knit, hybrid family of self-affirming "misfits", led by founders Stephanie Monseu and Keith Nelson, seeks to preserve ancient performance and American variety art forms in the modern world.
- "The Bindlestiffs" documents a year in the travails and triumphs of The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus. Sixteen years ago, Stephanie Monseu and Keith Nelson created the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, one of the last true touring vaudeville shows in America. Their shows combine traditional circus high wire aerialists, clowns, and juggling with sideshow denizens like swords swallowers, fire-eaters, and burlesque dancers. With these basic ingredients, The Bindlestiffs cook up an alchemical brew that promises to enthrall audiences. But their showbiz dream does not come easy. It takes hard work, dedication, time and more than just standard juggling. The company is precariously balanced and fighting off bankruptcy. Without a patron of any sort, and a national economy in tatters, Stephanie and Keith must find the will to make it happen. The show must go on. The path they find, and the heart and strength it takes to get there, involves gunning a motorcycle across a wire twenty-feet in the air, cracking whips, eating fire, and their clown Kinko's audacious real-life bid for the presidency of the USA. Prepare yourselves for a rare peek behind the curtain into the lives of true modern circus vagabonds as they live their lives, and run their business without a net.
