Aeolian
Aeolian: characterised by a sighing or moaning sound as if produced by the wind. This film shows the lifecycle of a creature as it explores the natural world around it. As it grows bigger, so too does its understanding of nature and life’s inevitable conclusion.
Momentum
For some it is just an ordinary party snack, but for Patrick, a tortilla chip started a moment of self-discovery. With exuberant dancing and magical passion he shares his inspiration and invites everyone to participate. Even his mother.
Man In Fear
Anthony Fox is a very paranoid man. Fleeing a coach crash, he wanders the streets; he’s bloodied and desperate, trusting no-one, switching food orders and behaving erratically. Anthony finally walks into a suburban Police Station and approaches the world weary Desk Sergeant. In a cracked voice he tells him that people are trying to kill him… by accident. When the disbelieving Policeman sighs and asks him their motive, he cryptically replies ‘Art’…

I Am Tom Moody
I Am Tom Moody is a film about the creative struggle, it is about self-doubt, the source of these doubts and overcoming our past. We meet tom Moody in his first moment on stage, struggling to open his mouth and sing. Plunged into his subconscious mind we discover two voices, battling to narrate the viewer through the film. Tom is caught in the crossfire, pulled and pushed, tormented by his own duplicity. Ultimately we join Tom in his seeking to discover their source, and unify the two.
Spaghetti For Two
The likeable but lonesome man is on his way to lunch. Awaiting him, the outside world lurks menacingly: in his imagination it swarms with would-be crooks, hussies and criminals.
