A judge is on the verge of rendering a "lawful" but doubtful sentence in a sensitive case involving a high-ranking dignitary. As she struggles with a decaying system and her own inertia, an internal voice reminds her of Article 22: the sacred duty of a judge to persevere in finding the truth. In a visceral confrontation with her own conscience, she must decide: will she hide behind the safety of legal papers, or will she trigger the "apocalypse" that comes with uncovering a horrific truth? A sharp meditation on personal responsibility and the spirit of the law.

What happens when three women, each a "loser" by the world's standards, collide in a house they all hate for different reasons? Locationista is an off-beat dramedy about Nina, a nomad location scout with "roots floating flat in the air," Vika, a control-freak producer on the verge of a breakdown, and Lina, a fiery French homeowner abandoned after nine years of marriage. From anti-corporate manifestos and "shamanic dips" in green lakes to the harsh reality of indie filmmaking where peanuts and passion are the only currency, this film is a journey through the messy, absurd, and beautiful glory of finding oneself when there is no closure in sight. A visual experiment in embracing chaos, it explores the mathematician's paradox of human emotions—proving that when logic fails, shared vulnerability creates a new path.

Sunmoon is a visual experiment in "blended reality," seamlessly integrating live-action with computer-generated animation. The film follows a young woman's confrontation with her inner selves: Piper, a bionic manifestation of her doubts; Phany, an animal spirit totem; and Sunmoon, her human core. As the timer counts down, poetry and imagination become the only tools left to bridge the gap between digital isolation and human emotion.
