Z Video Shorts

The videos on this page are all created by ZStaff. There are three satire videos which are the work of ZStaffer Lydia Sargent. Lydia not only does Z work, she is a playwrite, director, and actor, and highly accomplished at all three pursuits.
 
The satires are for your entertainment. If you write her and tell her you like them and would like to see more, we think she will try to find time to comply!
 
The videos marked (preview) are excerpts from or parts of full length Videos Z has produced for sale, that are available from our store. These previews are, however, free, and often substantial and always interesting!
 
The rest of the videos are full length, sometimes just a few minutes, sometimes quite a bit longer, and each stands complete. Sometimes ZStaff did the videoing, other times it is friends of ours. Sometimes we were in the videos, other times, people we learn from.
 
All you have to do to watch a video is click the link. BUT - depending on your computer and viewing software, you may need to click a little icon to get the viewing area to be large...but if you prowl around, you will find the little place to click to get the optimal viewing size! Don't settle passively for small, if you want larger!
 
Enjoy!
