BALLET AFTER DARK
This short documentary combines the realness of cinéma vérité and videologue with the sometimes imaginary world of social media and animation content to follow the journey of a trauma survivor's attempt to create a healing space in present day Baltimore.
MIRRORS
A young boy journeys through the harsh neighborhoods of his hometown, Baltimore, MD. in search of hope for a brighter future.
SQUEEGEE
The "Squeegee Boys" are best known for washing windshields of cars stopped at intersections around Baltimore. Seen by some as hooligans and by others as entrepreneurs, little is known about the actual circumstances that drive these young men to pick up a squeegee.
WELCOME HOME
An atmospheric and idiosyncratic film of a middle aged man in an empty home with a voicemail message from a young woman. Shot to edit on a single roll of Super 8mm.
OUT OF THE BLUE
A 78-year-old man covered his body with one beautiful tattoo. The retired Principal City Planner for Baltimore talks about trees, consciousness, letting go of life and his genitals.
BUCK
Caught in the throes of a depressive fugue, young Lynn resorts to debauchery to find joy—only to discover that happiness is a much more complicated proposition.
WATCHING THE STORM
Following the Baltimore Uprising of 2015, African American Horologist Steven Richardson returns to his hometown to help foster the city’s youth by cultivating the next generation of watchmakers.


Comprised of 7 incredible Baltimore-made films (4 documentaries and 3 narratives), our Balti-Shorts program sees these films in conversation with one another about our beloved city.
