Using his failed attempts at creating profitable stock footage, a filmmaker reflects on the absurd, mundane and funny side of being trapped inside your own head as an out of work, self-employed freelancer.

Unable to move on from the death of his granny, a filmmaker desperately searches for the right film idea that will finally allow him to let go…

This film aims to capture the stories of the aging Isabella, but also captures her condition and loss of cohesiveness as she loses herself into dementia and Parkinson's. It is also a very personal film since the subject is the grandmother of one of the co- directors. The idea is interesting as it links one strong clear memory, told several times, to other fragments and truths of her condition. Animation is sparingly but cleverly used to complement the delivery and avoid it just being a talking head.

What stops a father and son from being able to talk? As far back as I can remember, my dad and I haven't been able to communicate to each other very well. I know hardly anything about him, except that he likes jazz music and fiddling with old radios in the garage. In an attempt to find out why my dad and I don't talk, I look at the life of a man I know absolutely nothing about - My dad's father.

Through distant observation of people walking on desire lines, a filmmaker notices a pattern in peoples tendency to cut corners, and reflects on what this might mean for the future of our planet. Desire Lines are the official name given to the unofficial paths created as a consequence of erosion by human or animal footfall. These paths usually represent the shortest or most easily navigated route between an origin and destination. What do desire lines say about human nature and our attitude towards the changing climate? Are we doomed to always take the path of least resistance? Or can we still be saved by collectively forging a new path together?

What's it like to feel no emotion?

Fatigue expressed in an endless sea of content.
