Water & Wood

After more than a century of 'cleaning' dead wood out of our rivers, we have accidentally removed critical life support systems needed for salmon and many other river creatures... and it's now time for some heavy lifting.

We Are Rhino

(UK, 2013, 21 min)

SLOMO
Josh Izenberg, Amanda Micheli
Depressed and frustrated with his life, Dr. Kitchin abandons his career as a neurologist and moves to Pacific Beach. There, he undergoes a radical transformation into SLOMO, trading his lab coat for a pair of rollerblades and his IRA for a taste of divinity. (USA, 2013, 16 min)
Sacred Headwaters

Snows of the Nile
