Filmmaking duo Jamil McGinnis and Pat Heywood (aka Jamil & Pat) offer an intimate portrait of a place ranked the fifth worst city to live by USA Today. A place Pat Heywood used to call home. Exploring the question of what it means to be from somewhere, “Fall River” looks to one’s own personal history for answers.

New Zealand-born, Berlin-based artist Sam Handley explores our complicated relationship with screens through a series of poetic vignettes. While obviously a medium Handley freely uses for his work and self-expression, he is ultimately wary of our dependence on technology, particularly when it comes at the expense of our connection to the natural world as well as our own personal creativity.
“I recall a point a couple of years ago when I was having a lot of screen time and felt I didn’t want to overload my mind and risk affecting my imagination… being able to come up with an idea in your mind then actually being able to make it. This is one of the most magical and fulfilling things in life.”
Check out the rest of Handley’s micro films below!
A wonderfully fantastical short by Los Angeles-based director and cinematographer Brandon Kapelow. Inspired by the music of Tispur aka Samwise Carlson, “Dewhorn” tells the story of a young boy who escapes into the woods to indulge his fantasies only to find himself longing to return home. Visually adapting the world of Carlson’s lyrics as well as tapping into his own personal nostalgia, Kapelow further explains:
“Dewhorn is a story about escapism, belonging and what happens when the world of your imagination is more appealing than what you encounter in your daily life. Being a Wyoming native who moved to LA to pursue filmmaking, that conflict for me exists between an urban lifestyle and a constant desire to get back into nature. We were very fortunate to tap into Sam’s creative community in Boise, Idaho which was extremely generous and supportive of this project.”

Based on the song “Dewhorn” by Tispur

Lots of lovely shots in this video for Tom Rosenthal’s track “Lights Are On” by London-based director and photographer Josh Cowan (previously featured here).
Directors Jack Flynn and Nick David explore the adrenalin-fuelled world of Junior Banger Racing — a motorsport event where 11-15 year olds race against each other in old scrap vehicles. Filmed during the 2018 World Final in Norfolk, England, four young participants share what “Junior Bangers” means to them.
Really nice styling and cinematography in this video for Frankie Stew and Harvey Gunn’s track “Love One Another” by London-based photography and directing duo Anna + Kate. Exploring the idea that the biggest distance can exist in even the closest of relationships, Anna + Kate explain:
“The concept of our video, is based on couple who live together, yet their relationship only seems to exist in parallel alongside each other. Like passing ships.
This is just one of the many creative submissions we’ve received in the past week. Consider participating here if you have a project you’d like us to check out!
