This week’s independent short is an animated film created by Moles Merlo and a few other talented individuals that includes Baptiste Thiry, who scored the soundtrack for this film, and if I weren’t telling you who made this film, you would’ve thought it was created by Pixar or something, because the 3D animation is impressive [...]

Ark
What happens when an unknown virus practically destroys an entire population? No, this isn’t another one of those crazy Hollywood flick’s but a rather poignant short film by Grzegorz Jonkajtys, and to quote his film’s description “Oblivious to the true nature of the disease, the only remaining survivors escape to the sea.

The Ostrich by: Lucas Zanotto
…I remember way back when as a youngster in elementary school, one of my favorite activities was making things in art class. The teacher would put us into small groups, give us paper or clay, crayons, scissors, markers or paint, assign us our project, and then we kids would just have fun with it and [...]
