SIMPLICITY by Revel Co.


There’s a special greatness in simplicity. And greatness is sometimes best measured in what you don’t see. When there’s something left for your imagination. When you can’t taste every ingredient. When you don’t see the hours of thought, and practice, and trial, and error. When you can do more, but less is more powerful. When you express yourself purely, simply. There’s greatness in simplicity, but it isn’t simple.

Made in Iowa by Square


In 2011, Webster City, Iowa, experienced a massive economic shift after the town’s large appliance manufacturing plant shut down. This left many jobless and impacted local business, including the closing of the town’s beloved, historic movie theater. But the community refused to let their town die—and “Made in Iowa” tells the story of how small business helped Webster City save itself.

pylône (2d) by baron lanteigne


pylône, 2d version, 2017
watch the 360 version here: http://ift.tt/2rGsjpe

Pylône is part of br\che, an on going exploration of the spherical video workflow now accessible to a broader audience thanks to the consumer tech. Shot on the island of Orleans, we are immersed in the center of a corridor of electricity pylons connecting the south and north shore of the Saint Lawrence river in Quebec.

The footage is manipulated to reveal its true nature; an empty sphere upholstered by equirectangular projections attempting to simulate the real world. Giant human hands disturb this landscape collage to break reality into abstraction.

Created during a creative residency at La Bande Video, Quebec.

Shaving for Beginners by Jordan Halland


Ty Moore has been a Marine longer than he hasn’t. After 5 deployments he has seen his fair share of trauma in the theatre of war. Ty was trained to handle trauma. By his own account he isn’t afraid of anything. That is until the trauma was in Ty’s own home.

Jenn, his wife, was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma, a very aggressive cancer in her ribs. Like they have done throughout their marriage they persevered. They both thought this would be the worst thing their family ever went through, they were wrong.

Shaving for Beginners is the story of Ty, a father, a Marine, and a husband, as he takes his brokenness from situations outside his control and creates hope for him, his family, and his fellow servicemen and women.

Directed by Jordan Halland
Produced by Luke Webster
