Directed and Art Directed by Danae Gosset Produced by Pencil Studio 3D Lead Design & Animation: Vasco Gross 3D Character Animation: David Bonilla 2D Animation: Britton Korbel, Isabel Stub, Amy Cho, Ewan Creed, Gabby Sibilska, Emma Zwickert Titles Design by Julie Pavia Thanks to Patricia Gloum For this video we used some prompt-based Artificial Intelligence technology to generate the backgrounds. We then produced and layered a lot of 3D animations, footage, and illustration on top of it to make the video feel special and tailored to the song. We then proceeded to illustrate individually all of the frames with a variety of mediums such as watercolor, gouache, acrylic, color pencils, and pastel. As a last coat, we re-generated the entire hand illustrated video through a style transfer AI program. We set it to more or less opacity in some areas of the video, to act like a digital glaze on top of it, without losing the hard labor of the handmade quality. The story we aimed to communicate is about escaping, embracing, and surrendering to the unexpected. Pushing the metaphysical and mystical sense of the human experience, feeling that we belong from the sole exploration of our minds and into the infinity of space. An abstract and psychedelic visual exploration of self-introspection and imagination.

We all get lost in patterns, for some of us they can be totally consuming. I wanted to make a film about the feeling of being totally consumed by one thought. A thought that endlessly repeats, that spirals out of control until there’s nothing of you left. The light effect technique reflects this repetition, it is one singular beam duplicated and then stacked back in time. The light itself is real, no CGI was used in its creation. All the effects are captured in camera. The film was shot on 16mm on the Kimmeridge Ledges of the Jurassic coast in England. A huge thank you to all that made it possible. press: Director’s Library – https://bit.ly/3fGJt4L Shots – https://bit.ly/3C7szDN cast: Joshua Harriette crew: Director – Tom Wakeling Director of Photography – Nick Morris 1st Assistant Director – Luke Wilkinson 1st Assistant Camera – Phil Heron Camera Trainee – Daniel Llobera Runner – Philip Thomas Art Director – Devraj Joshi Music – Evan Gildersleeve Sound Design + Mix – Jack Hallett (Factory Studios) Audio Producer – Ethan Day (Factory Studios) Colourist – Jason Wallis (ETC) Colour Producer – Oscar Wendt (ETC) Scan Operator – Dan Redrup (Digital Orchard) special thanks: Panavision, Digital Orchard, 3D Champions, Factory Studios, ETC, Sorcha Bacon, Esteban Frost, Joan Solsona, Eimear Fitzsimons

When you see a beautiful picture of a person standing on top of a big mountain, it’s easy to assume their life, one of adventure, must be bliss. It’s simple, right? No screens, no deadlines, just the awe of nature and moving your body in places most of us only dream of. You’re at the top of the world–you should feel it, right? But the reality is: When you live with depression, it doesn’t care where you are, how high you’ve climbed, or how many peaks you’ve bagged.  Chains of Habit brings to light Ted Hesser’s struggle with depression, in hopes of destigmatizing the conversation around mental health and encouraging everyone to get outside and get well.

Please watch full screen and in the dark! Thank you. ************* THE EVENT 2022/narrative/11min. It’s 2 AM, and Vince just wants to know why. Directed and edited by Frank Mosley and Hugo De Sousa Written by Hugo De Sousa Starring Hugo De Sousa, Frank Mosley, and Jennifer Kim Produced by Chelsea Bo and Sean Drummond Cinematography by Kenneth Wales SCREENINGS: -2022 Slamdance Film Festival (World Premiere) -2022 Santa Barbara International Film Festival -2022 FilmFort Festival -2022 Oxford Film Festival -2022 Sun Valley Film Festival -2022 Ashland Independent Film Festival -2022 Florida Film Festival -2022 Mammoth Lakes Film Festival -2022 Rooftop Films, NYC -2022 Palm Springs ShortFest -2022 HollyShorts Film Festival -2022 Sidewalk Film Festival -2022 Skyline Indie Film Fest -2022 Fantastic Fest -2022 Eastern Oregon Film Festival -2022 Dallas International Film Festival PRESS: “With the filmmakers’ abilities to manipulate light, understand human emotion, and ultimately capture the essence of life itself, their short film should take the world by storm. The Event is a breathtakingly unique trip through the human psyche, and we can all learn a lesson or two from what the film has to say.” -Kyle Bain, Film Threat “Bound to take the festival world by storm… the film accompanies its laughs with sharp observations. “The Event” itself proves irresistible as the pair behind the camera, along with cinematographer Kenneth Wales, involve elegant chiaroscuro lighting for this most uncomfortable conversation, and the more ridiculous the situation gets, the more authentic it feels.” -Stephen Saito, The Moveable Fest “Are we afraid of telling our friends the absolute truth? The Event confronts those feelings in a refreshing, honest, and touching way that I did not expect. Frank Mosley and Hugo De Sousa are great together.”   -Joey Moser, Awards Daily *Listed Top 25 Shorts of 2022 HollyShorts Film Festival  “It’s a deceptively simple comedic premise, seemingly targeted at a narrow audience of frustrated indie filmmakers who feel Vince’s pain. Yet Vince and Jack’s ensuing argument also ends up probing universal themes of friendship that everyone can relate to.”   -Sean O’Neal, Texas Monthly *Listed Top Texan Performances at Fantastic Fest- Frank Mosley “De Sousa’s hilariously earnest performance and flawless sense of timing, turns every line of the clever dialogue into comedy gold. Mosley, as the exasperated friend, gets his biggest laughs from what he doesn’t say, making each defensive and befuddled facial expression speak volumes.” -Patrick Gibbs, SLUG Mag “The Event has a silly sweetness that stems largely from the real-life chemistry of de Sousa and Mosley. There’s a comfortable familiarity to their friendship on screen which makes the difficult conversations that fuel this short truly delightful. An additionally delightful performance by Jennifer Kim as Jack’s girlfriend Beatrice adds a feminine touch to the film – and a few really great laughs.” -Miranda Riddle, Horror Buzz
