Roommates Dina and Ruya don't get along too well, and their intensifying rodent infestation isn't helping things. Ruya wants to use glue traps and poison--anything to get rid of the pests--but Dina, a vegan animal-lover, is repulsed by the cruelty of these admittedly effective methods. But as they bicker, the mice might be hatching a plan of their own.

This Is Our Home

When a bleeding-heart vegan and her pragmatic roommate's rodent infestation intensifies, they find themselves at odds regarding methods that are inhumane yet effective.

There’s a Philippine superstition that reminds everyone to say ‘Tabi tabi po’ (Excuse me, please) when in the forest. One must say these words out loud to be respectful to the spiritual beings around them, or else these spirits can come for you, by ailment, injury, or curse. In this short, the protagonist Tala doesn’t speak Tagalog, and therefore doesn’t know to say ‘Tabi tabi po’. So she is not spared by the mystical beast that goes after her. “Tabi Tabi Po” is about having deep respect for one’s culture, even when it’s not fully understood. It’s about the loss a person can feel when they were never taught their native language, and the complications of their identity that come along with that.

Winona, a young witch, sets a trap for her soon-to-be-ex vampire boyfriend. When he arrives, she'll set Satan loose on him and get him out of her life. A jostling of the set-up however means that instead of Satan, she gets Stan- a relentlessly optimistic and less-than-demonic realtor. While Stan surveys the property, Winona and Vaughn get into a confrontation that looks like it won't end well for Winona. At the critical moment, Stan uncovers the floor to ceiling sunny window and unknowingly eviscerates Vaughn. Winona stands awestruck as a coincidental realigning of the set-up finally brings the real Satan into the picture. Stan, always the salesman, pitches the house to Satan, finishing with the offer of a homemade hot cross bun. Affronted by the holy symbol, Satan makes a hasty exit leaving Stan to go over market value with the shell-shocked Winona.

Jung &amp; Restless invokes some of the mystery, oddity and magic of dreaming. Jung &amp; Restless began while I was working with a senior Jungian analyst and stopped dreaming. I started animating short free form experiments, working intuitively without reflection, scrutiny or planning. Years later I got the message that this material contained a film. I also incorporated images from dream notes, Jungian symbols and mandalas of personal icons.
