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

Executive Producers (Run the Jewels) – Amaechi Uzoigwe & Drew Santarsiero
Thanks to Jason DeMarco/Adult Swim.

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.

– run the jewels & Brian Beletic

„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.

Shot in a single take using a drone, check out how it was made here: http://ift.tt/2oCepXY

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.
