Waking Life
Self
Un anónimo protagonista mantiene diversas conversaciones con personas distintas que parecen entrar y salir de su vida sin motivo alguno. Pero paulatinamente se atisba un propósito detrás de las crípticas y profundas charlas. Una frase, "dream is destiny" (el sueño es el destino), expresa la idea básica de la película: atreverse a entrar en el incontrolable mundo de los sueños, tan apasionante como inquietante y oscuro, y permitirse disfrutar al máximo del instante eterno que dura.

A Sign From God
Caveh
Greg Watkins' romantic black comedy A SIGN FROM GOD depicts a semi-fictionalized day in the life of independent filmmaker Caveh (Caveh Zahedi) and his girlfriend Laura (Laura Macias) as they struggle with a series of challenges and accidents (including eviction from their apartment, possible pregnancy, and a car crash) while desperately seeking a sign from God about the future of their troubled relationship. Laura's increasingly pessimistic attitude she perceives that the cascading negative events of their lives portend a negative "sign" about the relationship is offset by Caveh's serene and abiding faith that everything happens for a reason... Director Greg Watkins is a frequent Caveh Zahedi collaborator. Watkins & Zahedi co-directed A LITTLE STIFF, and Watkins is the cinematographer of Zahedi's I DON'T HATE LAS VEGAS ANYMORE.

I Was Possessed by God
Editor
On Valentine's Day, 1993, Caveh Zahedi decided to ingest 5 grams (a very large dose) of hallucinogenic mushrooms. For the first time in his mushroom-taking history, he had an experience of "divine possession," in which he felt that a divine being took possession of his body and spoke through him, in a voice that was not his, and with knowledge that he himself did not possess. He later tried several times to repeat the experience. I WAS POSSESSED BY GOD is the documentary record of one such attempt.

This film has nothing to do with Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story, but rather a naval base of the same name located in San Francisco Bay.

The film explores sexual themes that were prevalent during the period, but not shown in the movies of that era.

A Pregnant Moment
Editor
A 'dog-u-mentary' about birth, loss and near death. The film follows three adults and a dog named Lola through Lola's pregnancy, the birth of her puppies, and the loss of each puppy to their new owners. Often funny and ultimately sad, the piece explores our love and attachments to dogs and our projections onto animals.
