Dieter, the ailing sculptor, has not been able to work properly for a long time, simple things fail him.

Jar

Mirrors
The short film "Mirrors" by award-winning director Paul Jerndal is showing Anis don Demina, Cecilia von Der Esch and Danny Saucedo as they meet their mirror images and their worst self-critical thoughts. Mirrors aim to draw attention to mental health and the importance of daring to share feelings and thoughts.
The Rain
The Rain is a 2D hand-drawn film that features a narrated poem written by myself, Kā'eo Luke. This film reflects on what it means to be alive day to day. The human connection to nature through the wisdom of the birds is explored and showcased through unique species. The spoken word can be interpreted differently between viewers and asks the question, "what does it truly mean to live and love to each, individual mind?"
