This clever little short confirms my suspicions about cats, and how much I enjoy the subtlety of Patrick Carlyle's work in both drama and comedy. Carlyle recently starred in Cameron Beyl's "So Long Lonesome." view

In this visually stimiulating, cinematic form of poetry, filmmaker Robin Risser taps into a universal human condition commonly known as solitude. Part Magritte painting come to life, part emotional exploration, this film takes us through one man's journey through time, space, nature, and his own mind. This supports the philosophy that spending time with yourself is one of the most effective ways to commence personal evolution and understand the world around you. view

New school policies sometimes have unintentional consequences. "Immersion" is the story of a Spanish speaking boy who is very good at mathematics but struggles to pass an exam written only in English. The film provides a glimpse into the difficulties faced by children of recent immigrants and the current limitations of the American public school system. view

Who says you need advanced computer graphics to illustrate life in the 21st century? The creation of a San Francisco area comic strip artist known as Lev, “How to Break Up” does a fine job with just stick figure drawings and basic animation. The tools of choice appear to be rice paper, magic marker, and time honored tragic tales of the heart. view

Part 1 of an excellent little documentary following The Office's Ricky Gervais as he meets one of his heroes, Gary Shandling. Shandling's stand-offishness combined with his air of self-importantance gives the interview an undeniable edge. Gervais is there for a laugh, but Shandling won't let Ricky get away that easy. view

While there are many variations and remixes of Michael Jackson's Thriller, this rendition, built entirely in Mario Pain Composer, is my favorite. view

The team from Vice Magazine explore the Great Eastern Garbage Patch - an enormous build-up of plastics and garbage located in the Pacific, north of the Hawaiian Islands. This journey takes us through one of the most remote stretches of water in the world, thousands of miles from land, where literally tons of garbage and non-recycleable plastic are sucked into this area from the encircling currents. When you see the samples of water they take, you will realize how bad this problem is... we really need to protect our Mother Earth and start being much more conscious of what we do with our waste. view

This is a world very similar to our own, where robots, half-human and half-synthesizer, connect to each other in a hypnotic, chaotic, and static-filled state. Not unlike us humans, these 'beings' communicate in a complex and distorted way, and not surprisingly, the messages get misconstrued as a result. Watch and see the inevitable outcome of sound in turmoil. view
