Mask
Mask is a short 2D student film following the story of Celest, a young neurodivergent girl who wants to make a friend at the ball, but her parents are too concerned with the family’s appearance and won't let her show her true self.
This movie is a commentary on neurodivergent experience, especially self-stimulating or stimming and how it’s perceived by society. It's a topic dear to directors heart as they too were told to mask majority of their life but just like in directors life the film shows a hope that acceptance will come.

Rising Spirits
Rising Spirits is Dot's first short movie that slowly begun to turn into a world of it's own.
Sally is a young necromancer that can speak to ghosts. They struggle a bit with social situations but with the help of one very loving ghost dog and friends from school they learn how to navigate the strange world.
This story was born from Dot's walks through a beautiful cemetery on their way to university. All the overgrown headstones made them wonder: what spirits might live here? And the imagination train took it from there.
The future of this world is still up in the air but Dot hopes to turn it into a children show one day. Hopefully, Sally and Bones stories will help kids learn conflict resolution and maybe even about other cultures and history.
