Moodles by Ari Weinkle


Moodles is a short animation based on the effects of negative emotions on one’s self. It turns built up tension, stress, and anxiety into creative catharsis. Frozen figures – once paralyzed by moods – are reduced to heaps of flexible nothingness.

GOODBYE, OLD GLORY by Jordan Haro


‚Goodbye, Old Glory‘ is a vérité-style short documentary capturing the protests surrounding the controversial municipal removal of the Jefferson Davis Confederate monument in New Orleans, Louisiana. Shot entirely at night, this film is equal parts entertaining, thought provoking, and downright disturbing. The film objectively balances on-the-fly interviews from both the Confederate protesters and ANTIFA counter-protestors in order to demonstrate the cataclysmic political divide happening across American society today.

Satan’s boulder busting destruction is halted by a stubborn foe, testing his shape shifting abilities. Scored to an old phonographic gospel recording, this highly metaphorical animated short illustrates the relentless resistance, and ultimate victory, over a gritty penetration of abuse.

SINGULARITY by Visual Suspect


During the era of technological singularity, machine learning algorithms will seek to learn from our data with exponential speed.

A short experimental film and attempt to visualise the POV of a future artificial intelligence agent and its prime encounter with our world, its linear experience and the rapid absorption of all available information.

Imagination: Tom Wallisch by The North Face


We’ve all been that kid sitting in the back seat of our family car, wishing we were somewhere else. Through the boredom, the driveway snow piles, sidewalk handrails and stair sets start to tease our inner skier. Watch day dreams come to life as Tom Wallisch shreds the snowy streets of Nelson, British Columbia.
