Libris Solar
Production Design
"And then the bliss came, as though in being suspended in this cosmic movement and losing the motility that comes from taking a stand and taking hold, I had found what I went down in the sea to find.” - Alphonso Lingis, The Rapture of the Deep. A marine biologist meditates on the enigmatic figure of Libris Solar, an alchemical blend of human, non-human and neoprene.
Dust

A ballad of extinction, biodiversity loss and ecological collapse, Dust is a quiet lament from a near future.
The Gift

A meditation on the love of a father for his estranged daughter. A last meeting, a reparation, a benign waiting to tell her goodbye.
Touch

A solitary man and woman become increasingly aware that their separate worlds consist of uniquely enclosed environments. Are they listening to their surroundings? Can they survive without listening? They discover that the sounds of five words are their only means of communication and perhaps their only means of escape.
Close
Production Design
Nothing is safe at the moment but then, nothing is ever ‘safe’ in matters of love. From the digital world of online dating, to meeting face to face for the first time; is finding true romance a dream or can Sam and Andi find a way to be together? A journey of love for our times, an encounter full of trepidation where distance is just as vital as those soaring feelings of attraction. When romance is at stake, yet circumstances prevail… just how close would you get?
The Wait
Production Design
We sit and watch as white swans sail serenely by. Yet once in a while, along comes a black swan, and our world turns upside down. A horse drowns. Next door. We all observe. But who is the horse and who is the watcher? And will we be next? Wait and see.

A Message for Marty (or 'The Ring')

Ghost Apples
