What happens when a story is forgotten? What a long journey it’s been. This film was originally intended to be a small time capsule of my thoughts, feelings, and fears of stories being lost in time. It’s a piece dedicated to my little (currently 3 year old) brother, Senachwine, and a reminder for myself to look back on in the future. I started this last summer at 18, and little did I know that this film would take me on a journey and bring me closer to so many people around the world. Over 30 festivals and screenings from the Americas and Europe to Africa and Australia. I feel so lucky being able to meet new artists, family, and friends and experience treasured moments, big and small — it feels like a dream. Releasing this out into the world is a moment I will never forget, so here goes. Thank you so much to all who have supported this film so far. with love x Miigwech (Thank you), Kayla “Smoke That Travels” Original Music here: http://bit.ly/2eUuGPO Family History Website: http://bit.ly/2f1q79b “Smoke That Travels” is a personal documentary by Kayla Briët that explores preservation and loss of culture and her own identity as Prairie Band Potawatomi. runtime 13 min with Gary Wiskigeamatyuk directed + edited + cinematography + original score by Kayla Briët | 19 years old FESTIVALS Full Film Awards 2016 YoungArts (Los Angeles) - Winner in Cinematic Arts 2016 National Film Festival for Talented Youth NFFTY (Seattle) - Audience Award “Around the World in 10 Films” 2016 National Film Festival for Talented Youth NFFTY (Seattle) - Best Emerging Female Filmmaker 2016 Chicago CineYouth Festival (Chicago) - Best Documentary Senior Division 2016 New Renaissance Film Festival (London) - Best Young Talent (Documentary) 2016 Bushwick Film Festival (New York) - Best Short Film 2016 ImagineNATIVE (Canada) - Best Youth Work 2016 Seattle International Film Festival SIFF (Seattle) - Official Selection, Best of NFFTY 2016 Chicago International Film Festival (Chicago) - Official Selection, Best of CineYouth 2016 Rockland Youth Film Festival (New York) - Director of the Year 2016 Kleinkaap Short Film Festival (South Africa) - Best Documentary Official Selection 2016 DocumentaQro (DOQU) Festival (Mexico) - Official Selection 2016 Miami Independent Film Festival (Florida) - Official Selection 2016 Largo Film Awards (Switzerland) - Official Selection 2016 Move Me Productions Festival (Belgium) - Official Selection 2016 Kleinkaap Short Film Festival (South Africa) - Official Selection, Cinematography Nominee 2016 VisionFest 3.0 (Los Angeles) - Official Selection Director’s List 2016 CUCALORUS Film Festival (North Carolina) - Official Selection 2016 Guam International Film Festival (Guam) - Official Selection 2016 Broke Student Film Festival (Michigan) - Official Selection 2016 Tribal Film Festival (Oklahoma) - Official Selection 2016 Orlando Edge Film Festival (Florida) - Official Selection 2016 IndieWise Virtual Festival (Online) - Official Selection 2016 RAW Film Festival (Los Angeles) - Official Selection 2016 Buffer Festival (Canada) - Official Selection 2016 Winda Film Festival (Australia) - Official Selection 2016 Ethiopia International Film Festival (Ethiopia) - Official Selection 2016 Citizen Jane Film Festival (Missouri) - Official Selection 2016 Big Water Film Festival (Wisconsin) - Official Selection 2016 Vidcon (California) - Official Selection, Intermix 2016 One Flaming Arrow Festival (Oregon) - Official Selection Excerpt Awards, Screening, and Official Selection 2015 Summer in the City (London, UK) - Official Selection INTERMIX 2015 Buffer Festival (Canada) - Women of Youtube Award 2016 Sundance Film Festival Ignite Fellowship 2016 YoungArts (Florida) - Cinematic Arts Winner 2016 SundanceTV, nofilmschool.com, Adobe Project1324 (Online)

PLEASE WATCH FULLSCREEN IN FULL HD Shooting Pano LA has been the most ambitious, challenging, demanding, and rewarding project I have worked on to date. It was shot over a period of two years entirely in true panoramic form using two synced DSLR cameras side by side. The resulting panoramic timelapse footage comes in at a whopping 10K x 4K resolution when stitched. I did not shoot this film to achieve the extreme resolution. I shot it for the panoramic look, especially the compressed look you get when using long lenses. Shooting panoramic timelapse was something I had always wanted to do. I love panoramic images and wanted to bring that look to timelapse, and I wanted to do it proper, not by faking it by just cropping the top and bottom of regular timelapse shots. I gave it a try many years ago but was never able to get the images from the two cameras to sync properly and get the images to stitched together correctly. A couple years ago I was contacted by a client wanting some panoramic timelapse shots of LA. I told them I had tried it in the past and it did not work out to well, but that I am willing to give it another try. So I purchased some new gear and set out to my local testing locations in Malibu. The initial shots were successful so I continued shooting / testing for the next couple weeks. At that point I had acquired a few good test shots to show the client and sent them over to them. Long story short I never heard back from them about the project, but I kept shooting anyways. If it was not for that failed job/project I probably would have never got around to giving panoramic timelapse another try.

A completely hand-made historical micro-epic about the final minutes in the life of Winnipeg’s doomed Second World War hero, Andrew Mynarski (1916-1944). Combining wartime aviation melodrama with classical and avant-garde animation techniques (including stop-motion, silhouettes, bleaching, scratching, hand-painting and rubbing letratone patterns directly on the celluloid) Mynarski Death Plummet is a psychedelic photo-chemical war picture on the theme of self-sacrifice, immortality and jellyfish.

Urbanist and media artist JT Singh has captured the vibrance and massive scale of Shanghai’s skyline, streets, and infrastructure through a series of experimental projects viewed by millions (This is Shanghai, Walk in Shanghai, etc); hence, contributing greatly to the city’s growing global status. With this new film, he turns to the Shanghai of its residents, the lives that revolve not around the city’s 4000 skyscrapers, but around the simpler ways of living, the local charm, and the familiar corner. Amid the chaos of millions of people living and working with one another, the rich textures and smells, the voices and faces young and old, and the signs of tradition and change dwell behind each door and around each corner. With JT’s riveting visual storytelling, viewers experience a series of impressions around historic shikkumen neighbourhoods, which foster a network of real-life experiences, memories, and encounters with locals, which are the tender heart keeping the city alive and charming to live in. Shanghai’s iconic skyline is symbolic of its presence as a premier global city, but below the towers, the intimate, and human story that unfolds is what will always be part of the city’s core DNA. Forward by Lane Rick, an architect based in NYC About JT Singh JT Singh is an interdisciplinary media artist, urban futurist and world explorer, specializing in city-scale, global projects that blur the lines between technology, urbanism and story. It springs from his lifelong adventures and interest in socio-economic and environmental problems within cities that have led him to explore hundreds of urban areas worldwide with eyes wide open and through walking, walking and more walking. Currently involved in a variety of projects, including: exploring the future of urban transportation (www.cityofhumans.com), and advising numerous governments and global executives on city branding and smart city projects. JT is also collaborating with numerous tech startups focused on improving city life, from: urban farming, electric micro vehicles, solar energy and much more.

In this ghost story for the digital age, filmmaker Vera Vaughn works late into the night, editing her suspense/thriller about a woman jeopardized by a mysterious home intruder. But when she’s interrupted by a knock at the door, Vera’s world takes a frightening turn toward the surreal as life threatens to imitate art — or is it the other way around? As filmmakers, we set out to answer the question: “What happens when you combine a Polanski-esque psychological thriller with the creepy metaphysics of David Lynch, shake it up with a healthy dose of Carl Jung and drop it into the Twilight Zone as imagined by M. C. Escher?” We hope you enjoy our answer… http://bit.ly/2ewFti9 Starring: Marin Ireland as Vera Vaughn Director: Sorrel Brae Writer: Zeke Farrow & Sorrel Brae DoP: Jeffrey Kim Producer: Stephanie Haberman Production Designer: Maxwell Nalevansky Editor: M.

Apo Whang-Od is considered the world’s last Mambabatok (hand-tap tattoo artist) from her generation. At the estimated age of 99, she is now passing the tattooing tradition to a new generation in her tribe including her grand-niece Grace. The tradition of this style of tattoo started as a symbol of pride for warriors and a marking of beauty for females in the Butbut tribe and has now taken a unique turn in their village, Kalinga, situated remotely in the mountains of the Luzon province in The Philippines. Stay tuned next week for a release of a Behind The Scenes film taking you through the making of the project.

I decided to start this project after missing out on the chance to tell the story of a man from my hometown who dedicated his life to helping others. That man’s name was Frank Dymock. For years, Frank opened his garage to the public and sharpened skates free of charge. He wouldn’t accept a dime. He was an icon in the place where I grew up, and I always wanted to tell his story while he was still here. Regretfully, I let time pass, and Frank passed away before I had the chance to tell his story. This project is dedicated to him and to countless others who live selflessly and truly leave a legacy, forever impacting the lives of the people lucky enough to cross their paths.

This video is part of the Emergence audio/visual project, where I explored the idea of natural laws and their creation of the world around us. The early chapters of the story focus on the fundamentals of natural laws themselves, the basic principles of nature which needed to be in place before the physical universe could come into being. Luckily for me, working on an AV project, these basic building blocks of nature tended to yield beautiful results visually - symmetries, the distribution of the primes, dimensionality and hyper-dimensional forms, and here, waves. Perhaps this is because we have some subconscious appreciation for their importance, or maybe it’s just through social conditioning and the fact that they are usually common forms because of their irreducibility. The idea seemed like a simple one visually, so I wanted to create a simple classic synth approach musically, and find a strong retro aesthetic visually to match. Tom Hodge added some Fender Rhodes noodling for extra retro feel, and Kevin McGloughlin nailed the visual approach with a great technique for presenting waves as the product of strong moving lines in a simple colour scheme. Some of the video work reminds me of 60’s or 70’s modernist imagery, which fit right in musically. I chose the concept of waves for part of the Emergence story, because they are a very important idea in much of our understanding of the world around us, and within us. They form the basis of light and wireless communications, and our source of energy from the sun which creates almost all plant and animal life. Our best understanding of the fundamental nature of reality at the smallest scales is purely waves, apparently. And even the process of neuronal action that produces our awareness relies on waves of charge flow created by forces which are supposedly themselves mediated by waves - the virtual photon, a massless wave (i.e. light), being the force carrier of the electromagnetic charge which shunts particles around inside your neurones to make you think. And then there’s the more familiar waves that can dump you under and make you swallow some rank sea water. In addition to all of that, waves are also the basis of music - waves in the air, that is, sound, structured with symmetries. Much the same as with thinking about symmetry for that chapter of the Emergence story, it turns out that music shares a lot in common with our visual aesthetic preferences, and both are deeply rooted in principles of nature illuminated by science. There are different ways in which waves can operate, and what constitutes a wave at all, with or without a medium for example. But they all seem to involve energy transfer without needing the transfer of physical mass - like you can see in the video, the mass (each particle, or a charge) moves up and down on a single axis, and the wave, and energy, is propagated through the medium by these point oscillations. - Max Some words from Kevin McGloughlin on the project “I had been toying with ideas of emerging patterns from minimal configurations when Max Cooper contacted me to be involved in a video project. I initially pitched these ideas for a different track on ‘Emergence’. Max swiftly seen intertwined concepts within our work and suggested using the ideas for the track 'Waves’. On hearing the concept for the track, 'Waves’ seemed the perfect fit. My approach was to remain minimal and fluid with inspiration from the great Norman McLaren. I used only one element of animation for the entire clip (the initial line, in three colours). I gradually used multiples of this element and offset the times. Every form in the video was built from this initial line animation in a flat 2D space. I decided to limit the piece to three bold colours in a 2D environment in an effort to convey the idea that even in this limited space with limited material, these forms still have a capacity to create a wide variety of patterns and complexities, in part taking on the appearance of 3D depth. I felt these attributes demonstrated aesthetically and conceptually the core ideas within Waves.” Waves out now on Mesh / Emergence LP preorder: http://bit.ly/2eg2WJ8

In May 1988, girlfriends Claudia Brenner and Rebecca Wight were attacked while hiking the Appalachian Trail by a ‘mountain man’ named Stephen Roy Carr. IN THE HOLLOW tells the story of the shooting, Wight’s death, and Brenner’s desperate survival (and later transformation into an advocate for hate crime legislation in the U.S.) as she returns to the trail for the first time since the shooting. The film combines documentary and narrative film elements, using the actual locations on the trail and dramatizations written by Claudia Brenner and director/screenwriter Austin Bunn based on her testimony. The film follows Brenner as she hikes the Appalachian Trail in search of the site of the shooting and path of her survival.

A Film by Richard Valk http://bit.ly/2dFZPXz & Freek Zonderland www.freekfilms.tv Festivals Spain VI FEC. Villamayor de Cine! Prices: Best Foreign Film - Audience Award IKUSKA 2013 Price: Best Script FICHA CORTOS DE LA SOLANA ALCORTO USA Hamptons International Film Festival Richmond International Film Festival Mid-Atlantic Film Fest in Norfolk Mexico Festival Internacional Cinematográfico de Toluca 2013 UK UK Film Festival Short Film Official Selection Nomination for Best Director The Netherlands Dutch Film Festival Cast Bart Klever José Kuijpers Loek Beernink Joost Buitenweg Tijl Beckand Mikael Martin Odette van der Molen Composer Iris Hond Sound Design Michiel Eilbracht About Rode Gordijnen (Red Curtains) ‘Rode Gordijnen’ is a film about a man who tries to breathe new life into his out of touch relationship with his wife. Both characters seem to have reconciled themselves to their extinguished marriage: they have simply stopped communicating. But along the way their attitude towards each other, and towards their surroundings, changes substantially. One thing however remains the same: they still don’t talk. ABOUT US Rode Gordijnen (Red Curtains) is a short film by two enthusiastic initiators: director and producer Richard Valk and cameraman Feek Zonderland. This project is realised with the support of the experienced film producer Margot Nicolaes. In 1992 Richard started his company Valk producties. Initially as director but later also as a producer. He started out with television programmes as Lolapaloeza, Jules Unlimited, 2 Meter Sessions and various short and longer fiction films and documentaries. He is now director and producer of fiction, nonfiction, animation and music production. In 2010 Freek started his film production company FreekFilms, and he is attracting much attention ever since. He operates in very different fields, and works, among other things, for the VPRO, a Dutch national station. Shooting fiction is his real passion. Richard and Freek worked together on a film already once before. This collaboration worked out so well that they decided to gather together the same enthusiastic crew in order to make the short film Rode Gordijnen (Red Curtains)

Blu-Ray discs available here: http://bit.ly/2dPoAnt Song by Kerry Muzzey: “Revenge”/ “Revenge: Epilogue” (on iTunes: http://bit.ly/KM_TM3 Amazon: http://bit.ly/KM_REVENGE) Follow me: http://bit.ly/1TUL7Ko / http://www.twitter.com/mikeolbinski / http://bit.ly/2dPo2OA / http://bit.ly/2drgyOQ —————– If you asked the average person, many would characterize this summer’s monsoon as a down season. Not a lot of storms overall and it seemed generally more quiet. And in many ways it actually was a slower season. All told I chased about 36 days for this film, which was less than the 48 in 2015. We had an early start in late June, and then it was dead for almost three weeks. When I looked back and realized I chased 12 less days…yeah, it definitely had less action than normal. But to a storm chaser, none of this really means anything. Sure there were days when nothing was remotely possible to chase, but most of the time the monsoon can be found in the far corners of the state even when Phoenix and Tucson are dry as a bone. For me personally, I loved this season. Maybe because as a filmmaker, having put out a few of these films now, I’m beginning to focus and hone in more on what I really love to time-lapse. My early scenes years ago had a lot of average clouds and distant rain that didn’t have a lot of excitement or energy. But as the years go on, and I learn more and more about chasing storms here in Arizona…I’ve found myself in better spots to capture the stuff I really enjoy. Strong downbursts of rain, building clouds, lightning…and yes, dust storms. The one thing I was hoping for in 2016 that the previous years have lacked: Haboobs. Dust storms. Rolling walls of dirt and sand engulfing the deserts and even Phoenix itself. And my wish came true in that regard. Even a very late season, September 27th haboob that I captured right at sunset with glorious colors. Coming off the heels of filming Vorticity in the spring, with monster supercells and tornadoes, the monsoon is a totally different beast and you’d think it would be less exciting. I don’t know. I find them both amazing and inspiring. Weather to me is weather. No matter how mind-blowing it was to witness the Wynnewood tornado this past spring, standing in front of a rolling wall of dust, or a distant lightning storm under the stars…it’s all a blast to me and I never get tired of it. So Monsoon III…the credits will say it, but it was around 36 days of filming, I shot over 85,000 frames and am not sure how much made it into the final cut. The song I used was “Revenge” and “Revenge: Epilogue” by Kerry Muzzey, and I took both of them and sliced and diced until I actually had a six-minute version to fit in with all the footage I captured. I love it. As always…THANK YOU to Kerry Muzzey for supporting my work by letting me use his music once again. I don’t even have enough words for this man for doing this for me. It means more than anything! Please buy his work! I started editing this film mid-summer once I figured out the song I was using. And as days went by and more clips were rendered, I kept adding them and re-arranging them all the time, trying to get every clip to match the tone and feeling of the music. And then I’d think I was done and more storms would come and I’d have to move things around again, and even drop stuff. I have a lot of fun scenes that are not in this film because I only wanted the very best. Special thanks to Bryan Snider and Dustin Farrell for some tips this summer on editing out dust spots and birds better than I had been doing. Appreciate it fellas! My wife takes the brunt of what I do, especially when I’m gone for days at a time. Filming in Arizona is easier because I’m usually home at some point in the evening and at least around in the mornings. But it’s a lot of work and a lot of time being away. She supports me like no other and I can’t believe how lucky I am to have someone with that much faith in what I do. And a lot of these clips will forever hold memories for me because my two oldest kiddos were there for them, and at times even all three were nearby. My littlest guy who just turned three, sits on my lap a lot when I edit, listens to the music and loves watching the final product. And he wants to keep watching it…over, and over and over. Makes a daddy proud. I hope you enjoy this latest installment. I’m not sure how it compares to years past, but for better or worse, this was Monsoon 2016 for me! Please let me know if you have any questions about anything! Most of these clips were shot in 8K with some 4K stuff thrown in there as well. —– Captured with a Canon 5DSR, two 5D3’s, 11-24mm, 16-35, 35mm, 50mm and 135mm.

This is the music video for the song “Space Diaspora” of OY’s [http://bit.ly/2dDOWsR] new album bearing the same name. The musicians Joy & Lleluja - about the clip & song: On our new album we tell the story of mankind’s future on a imaginary planet called Space Diaspora. So Space Diaspora is the second single and the title track of our new album. The song is the beginning of this space opera and tells the story of the departure & transformation of planet Earth in and onto Space Diaspora. We couldn’t have been more lucky than to have Moritz Reichartz illustrate and interpret this story for us. The clip allows further imagination and interpretation.. and so we invite people to participate and build their own story. ‘After all, in spite of all technological inventions, the farthest we can travel is still with our minds.’ The label sais: Life on Space Diaspora is a reflection and a distortion of our own struggling world, conveying sentiments of modern alienation and transnational identity. OY’s thoughtful and humorous, tongue-in-cheek approach looks back at current times from the vantage point of a chaos-driven but blooming society in our own future. A vision which elicits tears as well as smiles, and praises the huge potential of the in-between. The director Moritz Reichartz about the clip: Technically speaking, the video is generated almost without keyframes, which are traditionally an essential tool for computer based animation. I work with these nokeyframe techniques for the last two years (latest publised result is “Hands Off [AI]” http://bit.ly/2cNnFOp) as i found they often produce unforseable, better than imagination results that are filled with a lot more life and provide a wide spectrum of outcome to choose from. Dynamic simulations, noise and time driven animations and textures, hair systems, formula based deformers, force and turbulence guided particle systems and many caches baked in specefic chronological orders brig this story to life. The process for the video was more the one of a labrotory rather that the one of inbetweening classical storyboard images in squares. Probably not more that 40 keyframes, mostly used for the camera work where used in this project. CREDITS: Music: OY [http://bit.ly/2dDPhvL] Derection, Design, Animation and Images: Moritz Reichartz
