A wonderful portrait of the different faces and facets of anxiety by London-based directors Lily Rose Thomas and Stephen Isaac-Wilson. While anxiety is the most common mental health condition (affecting 1 in 4 adults), very few speak about it publicly. As anxiety-sufferers themselves, their hope is that this series of interviews and fantasy sequences will help break the silence and offer relief to others.
Filmmaker Mario Hugo and designer Johnny Lee play with light, shape and shadow in this trippy 80s inspired video for Thunder Tillman and Hugo & Marie Studio.
A gorgeously shot video by London-based director Lexi Kiddo for MUTO’s track with Emerson Leif. “Say Nothing” captures the disturbing perfection of life on a remote farm, and what lies beneath.

Chicago-based motion designer Doug Alberts illustrates this scientific explanation of how the two sides of our brains work together. Not unlike the lesson itself, Alberts’ mix of animation styles creates the illusion of a team effort, even though it was all done single-handedly by him!
