Directed by Daniel Young
Spoons. What more is there to say?

Get to know the filmmaker:

1. What motivated you to make this film?

Spoon was an incredible script to read. Ed and I had been looking to collaborate again before we had officially teamed up, and it just all came together. I wanted to do fun, and strange in a way people hadn’t seen before

2. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?

When I got my hands on the script it was not long. The process from script to final product is pretty streamlined for us. Once we get a project we like, it usually only takes a few months before the film is ready to be seen.

3. How would you describe your film in two words!?

Strange fun

THE DEAD THAT LIVE, 9min., USA, Drama/Horror
Directed by Mark Oguschewitz
A lonely zombie must fight for his life during the zombie apocalypse.

Get to know the filmmaker:

1. What motivated you to make this film?

Writer/Producer Mario Mabe brought me the 7-page script and I immediately fell in love with the last page and a half.

This is where the script turned into something different – it showed some real humanizing elements still present within the zombie character. Unlike most zombie films, this script took the zombie’s perspective and challenged us to understand him. The zombie wasn’t just a mindless body walking around trying to kill people. I thought that was interesting and wanted to explore that idea more.

2. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?

It took about a year and a half to complete. But…

BLOOD BUDDIES, 12min., Canada, Drama
Directed by Suzanne Marie Moreau
A friend in need is a friend indeed – or are they? Two best childhood friends go to their first summer camp together – and it tears them apart.

Get to know the filmmaker:

1. What motivated you to make this film?

I felt motivated to tell the female experience of puberty including that momentous occasion, a first period, since it seemed to be missing from the screen. I looked into ‘first period’ stories and discovered an online trend was shaping up among today’s generation. It made sense emotionally and theoretically to try to capture the experience and how it coincided with friendships in a sensitive, vulnerable way with a mature perspective that drew from my own remembered feelings.

2. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?
