Lakota in America by Square


Genevieve Iron Lightning is a young Lakota dancer on the Cheyenne River Reservation, one of the poorest communities in the US. Unemployment, addiction, alcoholism, and suicide are all challenges for Lakota on the reservation.

For nearly a hundred years, it was illegal to practice Lakota customs. Now, the Cheyenne River Youth Project is working with young people like Genevieve to create a stronger economic and cultural future—and they’re using their Lakota heritage to get there.

„Lakota in America“ is the third film in Square’s For Every Kind of Dream series.

Goodbye Uncanny Valley by Alan Warburton


It’s 2017 and computer graphics have conquered the Uncanny Valley, that strange place where things are almost real… but not quite. After decades of innovation, we’re at the point where we can conjure just about anything with software. The battle for photoreal CGI has been won, so the question is… what happens now?

Bobby Brown – Roots Lead to Water by Bob Culture


7 years have past and we are back. We have had life changing sessions on this mountain and times we will never forget. We wanted to come back with a fresh set of eyes and approach the mountain in a whole new way.

With the vision from Stept Studios we were able to capture mind blowing footage of a this special place and group of riders.

This video was only possible with the help of the locals of Girdwood, Alaska. Their enthusiasm and help with the build is what made this video what it is.

Enjoy!

Agent of Connection by Ivan Cash


William Cromartie is a BART station agent who finds meaning through the simple act of greeting commuters.

After meeting William on my commute to/from Oakland and witnessing his warmth and friendliness firsthand, I knew I had to make a film about him. I hope his story inspires more people to open up their hearts to strangers. Thank you William for inspiring me and countless others!
