Emsahar
A young girl attempts to prevent the imminent death of her beloved grandmother by harnessing the magical powers of a local Ramadan drummer.
Napo
John, unable to understand the illness that drives his grandfather between past and present states, stumbles upon an old album full of photographs and lets the images guide his imagination, transforming his grandpa's memories into drawing interpretations.
Frank & Emmet
Frank & Emmet tells the story of two life-long friends and show-business partners who, after weeks of drifting apart, sit together to have a much-needed conversation. The talk takes a turn when they address head-on the one thing they’ve never talked about: One of them is a puppet.
Black Slide
Timid young Eviah and his best friend sneak onto the Black Slide, the most terrifying ride at Aqua Fun. There, Eviah will gain insight to prepare him for events about to unfold at home.
Looking at Childhood
An old man is visited by the young boy he once was, forming a momentary reunion of past and present.
Floundering
With the end of a floundering adventure in sight, neither grandfather nor grandchild are quite ready to part ways. They depend on one another to stave off mundanity. For grandpa, that means living alone; for Charlie, school.

These shorts tackle the complexity of grief, loneliness, and all of life’s transitions with grace and a touch of humor.
