Seatbelts:

Short Narrative
Director: Michael John Dunker
Country of Origin: United States

When Chad and Rachel go on their second date, he refuses to put on his seatbelt because he did his own research.

Won’t Be Around:

Music Video
Director: Terry Blade
Country of Origin: United States
Language: English

At its core, Won’t Be Around is about meaning the words we say, and acting on the words we’ve used. It is not enough to just tell someone we won’t be around for them if they treat us poorly. We have to be completely and totally absent. This project is the official music video for the song. Stylistically, the song and video draw from the rural and early American roots music of the first half of the 20th century—the lifeblood of America’s musical and cultural heritage.

Natturubond:

Directors: Sven Peetoom, Gríma Irmudóttir & Jonathan Damborg

Náttúrubönd is a poetic inquiry in our changing relationship with nature, explored through the bond of four people with the Icelandic landscape.

Ivania:

Short Narrative
Director: Luigi Abanto
Country of Origin: Spain
