Three Daydreams
Written/Produced/Directed by Mike Stoltz, 3 min 48 sec, DVD

A collage composed of 16mm and 8mm films collected onto video, this completely silent and experimental work explores the haunting intricacies of childhood, automobiles, and water.

The Sour Bellies
Written/Produced/Directed by Drew Blatman, 7 min 1 sec, BetaSP

A short film shot on SUPER 8 (and dubbed in French with English subtitles!) that documents the merriment of four friends out on a picnic. All is well until they fill their bellies far too much…

Measure of Love
Written/Directed by Lauren Miller, Produced by Miki Ann Maddox, 8 min, BetaSP

Alex works in a bakery with Taylor, a past love. She loves her work, but lately it’s been getting hard to deal with all of the awkward moments.

Straw Hat
Written/Co-produced/Directed by Franko Galoso, Co-produced by Takia Cameron and Joi McMillon, 10 min, BetaSP

A complete change of pace from Franko Galoso’s outstanding documentary short, Foxhole (2004 Florida Film Festival), Straw Hat is a magical tale about being different from the rest and fitting in.

The Balloon
Written/Directed by Bum-Jin Lee, Produced by Ringling School of Art & Design, 3 min 43 sec, BetaSP

When the line between life and death hangs in the balance, dreams can become nightmares.

Lolita: Slave to Entertainment
Written/Directed by Timothy Gorski, Produced by RattleTheCage.org, 58 min, BetaSP

The documentary an entire industry doesn’t want you to see. This controversial film takes a disturbing look into the dark secrets of the multi-billion dollar aquarium industry and questions human ethics in relationship to wild animals. At the center of its story is a 37-year-old captive performing orca named Lolita. Showpiece of the Miami Seaquarium, she has been caught in a net of lies and controversy for over 30 years. Undercover footage and alarming interviews with former park employees, marine mammal specialists, animal welfare activists, and a retired whale hunter combine to tell a powerful tale of this gentle victim to a heartless industry.
