In this increasingly fast-paced world, sometimes we need to slow down and share our lives with each other. Our stories … of what matters to us.

To This Day Project is a project based on a spoken word poem written by Shane Koyczan called “To This Day”, to further explore the profound and lasting impact that bullying can have on an individual. Schools and families are in desperate need of proper tools to confront this problem. We can give them a starting point… A message that will have a far reaching and long lasting effect in confronting bullying. Animators and motion artists brought their unique styles to 20 second segments that will thread into one fluid voice. This collaborative volunteer effort will demonstrate what a community of caring individuals are capable of when they come together.

I-will-not-tell-you-whose voice leads us through three extreme situations that are actually the same… Will you survive?

Un chouette court-métrage de Ramon & Pedro (Antoine Tinguely et Laurent Fauchère). Le film s’appelle Le Miroir et montre la vie d’un homme de son enfance à sa vieillesse.

Le court-métrage a obtenu le prix du court le plus créatif au Shanghai International Film Festival et le prix du public du Festival de Curtmetratges de Manlleu (Espagne).

If you repeat the word 'fly' for long enough it sounds like you're saying 'life'. This is of no help to Peter. His answers lie in the brain of a beetle.

On an unseasonably warm November night in Manhattan on our way to get ice cream, we stumbled upon what appeared to be a vintage shop, brightly lit display window and all. As we began to walk in, a man sitting out front warned us that we were welcome to explore, but nothing inside was for sale. Our interests piqued, we began to browse through the collections the man out front had built throughout his life. This is a story of a man and his home.

Un contest organisé par la marque Mont-Blanc The Beauty of a Second, proposant aux candidats d’envoyer des vidéos d’une seconde qui pourraient selon-eux exprimer la beauté.

Viewers can interact with two actors and hear their train of thoughts either simultaneously or separately, depending on how they move the dial. Together it truly does make for a jumbled audio track, but I really like this idea of enabling users to alter the storyline by providing synced but separate audio tracks.

On his way to work one day, Joel (Bodhi Elfman) is impaled through the chest by a three-foot arrow. But it doesn’t harm him. And it won’t come out.

Little does he know, his life is about to change forever...

I really love this short film (12 minutes long) Signs by Australian director Patrick Hughes. It will be presented in the upcoming Schweppes Short Film Festival. The film has no dialog between the two main characters, just a soundtrack. Communication is done by signs, facial expressions and scrabbles on papers. The movie is pretty emotional, depressing and sweet at the same time. I highly recommend you watch it.
