“Escape Of The Gingerbread Man!!!”
Dir. by Tod Polson
“The Polar Explorer”
Dir. by Mark Terry
A young storyteller challenges the old master in a pub on the Irish west coast. When things take an unexpected turn. Brought to life by veteran Irish comedian Jon Kenny, with original music by traditional Irish band 'Rattle the boards'. 'Escape of the Gingerbread Man' is a mad romp through the Irish countryside, and a subtle commentary on the changes in traditions, and culture that is happening through the emerald Isle.
In partnership with the United Nations Environment Progamme, The Polar Explorer was honored to be invited by the UN to screen at the Climate Change Conference in Cancun in December of 2010.
The film documents the scientific studies and research being done by scientists in the Arctic and the Antarctic in relation to climate change and what their findings mean for the rest of the world. The vital information covered in The Polar Explorer was the reasoning behind it's invitation to the Climate Change Conference and why it makes for a startling and intimate look into what is happening to our precious polar regions.
Robert Marron is the receptionist of the Eldorado Hotel, lost in his language theory.
He want to become a translator for couple, convinced that everyone is a language and that he has the faculty to understand each language...
This film is an essay on lack of communication for people who think they need to be understood.

“Open Borders”
by Michael Mares
“Algorhythm”
Dir. by Tyler O’neil
& James Rodenhouse
9/11 took on New York City and DC, but OPEN BORDERS is a dramatic thriller that takes on the dangers of foreign terrorists and home-grown traitors working together to destroy America. Three cops struggle to save the nation from nuclear annihilation when a rogue faction in the U.S. Government plans a false-flag war against Muslims by partnering with al Qaeda. Al Qaeda leaders then double-cross the Americans to open the nation to a doomsday scenario of mass destruction. The porous U.S. border permits the entrance of both weapons and terrorists, and only first-rate police work can stop the global plot. This is a heart-stopping and complex thriller taken from today's headlines.
The sweet sound of a vintage radio brings a mad scientist's failed creation to life! Proving you need to have rhythm, to solve Algorhythm. A Science inspired dance short, featuring the MashUp Contemporary Dance Company
