I, Object!
Synopsis:
It is very likely that I, Object! is a story about three obsessive individuals and the objects they keep. However, it may be that it's actually a story about objects and the people they keep. Whichever perspective you take, I, Object! unleashes the power of our everyday belongings and asks the question, if we can't get rid of our possessions, who is really the possessed?

Kirby
Synopsis:
Kirby tells the tale of a superhero and a mute girl. Inspired by the great Jack Kirby, ours is the story of a fall from grace -- the loss of innocence of two characters when they confront the real world. the narrative is told through clear images and layers of sound, music, movement, and spectacle -- a collage, free from formulaic situations with room for interpretation.
