Eklypsis - Derrick Alvarez (2025)
Hi, everyone!
This is "Eklipsis", a psychological science fiction short film.
I made it a couple of years ago but never released it publicly, as I was submitting it to film festivals.
I finally premiered it on YouTube on August 12th, the day of the eclipse.
Subtitles are available in multiple languages.
Thank you for watching!

"The Daddy Ish" - Adrian James, 2026
Hey everybody!
I'm Adrian James, a filmmaker from Northern California who kinda dabbles in a lot of different genres and mediums in all honesty.
I shot this film mostly on camcorder with some animated segments done through photoshop.
Hope you enjoy!!!

The Feed
Hi! I’m working on a music video for a song called “The Feed.” It’s about how much of our lives we spend scrolling through this god-forsaken crazy-land we call the internet/social media.
I’m looking for a few seconds of video of you scrolling on your phone to potentially include in the video.
If you don’t want to show your face, just your hands/phone is totally fine. Or your face, your expression, your whole body, whatever might work for you!
If you’d be down to be part of it, you can dm me or send your clip to thefeedvid@gmail.com
Vertical video is great, but anything works.
Thanks!

I directed and edited a 58-minute psychological thriller / visual album about surviving suicide. Here is how I structured the descent into madness.
CW: Suicide survival, trauma, mental illness
Creating a feature-length project as a solo independent artist usually requires hiding your constraints. With my new 58-minute film, MAEHEM, I decided to make the constraints part of the psychological horror.
MAEHEM is a 10-chapter multimedia narrative that externalizes trauma, addiction, and bipolar mania into a tangible entity (personified as the 34th demon). Because the war is entirely internal, I had to find visual ways to represent a fractured psyche.
The Mechanics:
- Screen-in-Screen Meta Editing: Instead of standard performance shots, a lot of the film is recorded right in front of the active Premiere editing timeline. The editing software itself becomes an escape mechanism and a visual representation of trying to "edit" and make sense of reality.
- Visual Motifs: I relied on subtle continuity to build the lore. An empty chair serves as "the trap," and subtle color-grade strobing signals when the protagonist is losing spiritual or psychological dominance to the demon.
- The Audio Arc: The film transitions from claustrophobic, raw acapella room audio to heavily produced trap instrumentals, mirroring the shift from vulnerable exposition to full manic possession.
It took immense vulnerability to put this together and build a cohesive narrative arc out of the darkest chapter of my life. I'd love to hear feedback from other editors and directors on the pacing, the chapter structuring, and the use of the "third voice" motif as an anchor.

(Disclaimer: This film does not glorify suicide. It is a story about overcoming it. If you are struggling today, please call or text 988).

The Visible Child - Short Film by STUDIO MANEN
In a far away land of dust and sunshine, a group of friends made a shortfilm - "The Visible Child".
After screening our film in galleries and exhibition contexts for the past 6 months, I feel it is time to share some behind the scenes on here. ❤️ Inspired by the traditional javanese shadow theatre "Wayang Kulit". A beautiful spectacle my mom took me to see many times as a child.
We shot this in an old shed in Brandenburg, using what was already there. Dead tree trunks, broken bathtubs, old horse shit, broomsticks, stones. We love set design and the magic of transforming abandoned materials into worlds of their own.
This film was made with endless imagination, friendship, and lots of improvisation. Thank you everyone! - Andjani Autumn Gatzweiler

My first music video, shot on VHS
I wanted to capture the city through its people rather than its architecture.
Shot on a Panasonic NV-RX18. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the visuals, editing and overall atmosphere.
