AFFIRMATION (US, 2025, 5 min, Director Emily Bennett)
When mantras, affirmations, and wellness culture turn unwell, a panicked woman turns to her meditation app to calm herself in the moment. As the soothing affirmations begin to speak directly to her, her confidence grows—pushing her toward a grisly task. Shot in a single take.

CAROUSEL (US, 2025, 8 min, Director Christopher Kosakowski)
Charlie, a circus clown celebrating his birthday alone, receives a mysterious gift containing an antique zoetrope. What begins as a playful distraction quickly spirals into supernatural terror that spins his world into chaos.

DON’T GO (No Te Vayas) (Spain, 2024, 8 min, Director Miguel Muñoz Gascón)

THE LONE PIPER (US, 2025, 10 min, Director Matthew Kravchuk)
During the Seven Years’ War in 1759, hardened soldiers force their young bagpipe player into battle, only to discover their enemy is not what they expected.

Tony and Linda long to grow their family, but when Tony confronts his fertility issues, he turns to a mysterious oyster dealer whose wares promise far more than virility.
