Preparation and Sacrifice

Trapped between the frames of time.

Pigpen has a snore. Bailey has a lot of nerve. And Curt Garrish has a gun.

Trapped and alone, a young man must confront the pain he's ignored when he finds himself face-to-face with consequence.

Surreal environments take center stage in this visual odyssey.

A short film about creation and how it doesn't always go to plan.

Laura, 16, is held hostage by her father who believes she is possessed because she is pregnant.

Inside a computer a space-time is revealed in which image and sound become numbers and motion manifests as rhythm, flow and chaos. This tracking and integration experiment removes the superficial identity of video to detect kinetic disturbances in everyday environment.

After a catastrophic global war, a young filmmaker awakens in the carnage and seeks refuge in the only other survivor: an eccentric, ideologically opposed figure of the United States military. Together, they brave the toxic landscape in search of safety... and answers.

Host Scott Forrest presents a curated compilation of eight independent short films in this rapid-fire science-fiction feature. Genres collide, narratives twist, aesthetics clash, and even humor, both campy and dystopian, showcase the vast creative possibilities of each story's individual world, offering the viewer a brief glimpse into the lives of every character's attempt to survive the otherworldly chaos around them. Released in 2001, the selected shorts span original creation dates of 1997 to 2001; most of the featured filmmakers also appear as themselves in short video interviews to talk about their inspirations, creative process and motivations while working on their individual shorts.
