“When You Find Me”
Dir. by Bryce Dallas Howard
A film director obsessed with making a western decides to go to Northern Chile in search of a story for his screenplay.
Being confused with another, a real adventure begins.
Now he will have a good script… If he leaves alive
The story of a man with no history.
The journey of an author becoming his own character and his impossible return.
'when you find me' tells the story of two sisters whose childhood bond is tested by a tragedy they are too young to understand. Alternating between past and present, 'when you find me' is an emotional fable of two people coping with loss in very different ways, and what it takes to find peace within yourself and reconciliation with the ones you love.

A 6 minute Flash animation about a girl/cat who sets a out to deliver a letter and encounters some obstacles along the way. Will she finally deliver the letter?
The crime is accomplished.' These words were spoken by Cardinal Anastasio Ballestero, at the time 'custodian of the Holy Shroud,' just a moment after some samples of linen were cut out of the Holy Shround, upon his own granted permission, in order to undergo the carbon-14 analysis by three international scientific laboratories. What did he mean with that phrase? We'll never know. ..
QUEENS! Destiny of Dance is a film which takes one into the heart of an up-market Hijra (Trans-genders) community. This film aims to reveal a journey of life in human experience that is seldom understood. Even more, it is made with the honest efforts to show such lives in a better light. And through this film we hope to celebrate a way of life in every colour through dance of destiny

“Sin Dolor”
Dir. by Joe Greco
“Lighthouse Lane”
Dir. by Douglas Brekan
A curious doctor tends to a young Dámaso Funes' broken leg and charred hands, believing that the scars across his body indicate an intense history of abuse. However, the Doctor soon discovers that he has stumbled upon a scientific miracle: a boy who cannot feel pain; a boy who can hold a burning ember in the palm of his hands without flinching and who can play with scorpions like toddlers toss around toys. Unfortunately, rather than rendering Dámaso superhuman, his condition leaves him vulnerable to exploitation. The Doctor sees great opportunity and befriends the young patient in an attempt to use him as material for a revolutionary case study. But as time goes on, their relationship strengthens and the Doctor's feelings towards the boy begin to change, his personal agenda giving way to moral responsibility. Dámaso is no longer a specimen to study but a son to love. His inability to feel pain will not protect him from more subtle wounds and while the young boy's skin may heal, his inner scars are everlasting.
Dawn Snyder, a 25 year old college student, drops out of Yale after becoming mentally ill. Moving back home with her overbearing mother, Dawn spirals downward in a haze of psychotic delusions and nightmarish hallucinations. She soon discovers there is no escape from the madness on Lighthouse Lane.

When the boy gets curious about the world he sees the empty things I'm partaking in. He's not being looked after. So he gets lost in a place where he shouldn't be. After a while he finds a place that looks like fun but ultimately will lead to the demise of my ignorance and innocence. The boy ends up drowning and being lost forever because of my actions. My empty self satisfying actions orchestrated the death of my innocence. The Girl is distraught after losing this innocence because that's not really what she wanted.
