Chasing the Wind by Andrew Batista


“The proper function of man is to live, not exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them, I shall use my time.”
Jack London

Chasing The Wind is a short documentary that tells the story of champion windsurfer Jesper Vesterstrom and his internal struggle following his father’s diagnosis of ALS. Grappling with his father’s fate, his instincts led him to the open water where he learned to harness the elements and his emotions in order to keep a promise.

Artist & Director’s statement:

The video for LEGEND HAS IT plays with the theme of guilty until proven innocent. We live in a world where stronger the truth the greater the opposition. In this story EL-P and Killer Mike are in a police lineup and the cards are stacked heavily against them.

But why is that?

this video is a worst nightmare scenario. high on acid and caught in the system. pitted against icons of innocence in a police line up that doesn’t feel real. no bunnies were hurt on the making of this video.

„At The End Of The Cul-de-Sac“ short film by Paul Trillo by Paul Trillo


In one continuous shot, a man has a public meltdown in the middle of a residential cul-de-sac. The neighbors gather together and watch, debating how best to deal with unstable man. What unfolds is a constantly shifting scenario in which community’s cultish public shaming is taken to extreme heights.

‚At The End Of The Cul-de-Sac‘ is this week’s Staff Pick Premiere! Read more about the film here: http://ift.tt/2oJ5IYv

MAMMOTH by Grant Slater


In the remote Russian Arctic, an aging scientist and his son are trying to recreate the Ice Age. They call their experiment Pleistocene Park – a perfect home for woolly mammoths, resurrected by modern genetics. But the mammoths are only a means to a bigger end: defusing a carbon timebomb frozen in the permafrost to slow the effects of global warming.

Seeking Nirvana 2.2 – Under The Moonlight by Seeking Nirvana


These are some of the finest mountains, that you could ever lay your eyes on. Loaded with giant cedars and fir trees down low and piled up with deep snow as you climb higher up their slopes. It really is a magical place. Lots of inspiration here… As the sun creeps behind the towering peaks, the moon takes its place under a dark and starry sky and we experience a similar world beneath a new light…

TENERIFE UNKNOWN by FilmSpektakel


In September we spent two weeks with five cameras and two sleeping bags in Tenerife to explore the island abroad from all the tourism hotspots, focussing on its nature and lost places.
In 10 days we slept several nights beneath one of the most breathtaking night skies there are in the whole world, visited ghost town, a forgotten village which used to be a leper colony until it was abandoned, and found a lost hotel, which’s construction was suddenly stopped in the 70s because the owner was unknown.
We gathered 42.187 shots which kept us over 240 hours busy in post production and take up 1,12 Terra bytes of our hard drives.
