Follow artist and musician Adrianne Gonzalez as she takes us through the process of connection with her audience on

THE SECRET WALLS
Running Time: 14min 25sec
A theatre in the rain, people outside crowding to get in. A tired man comes through the stage door where a child -the master of the place- has been waiting for him. Engulfed in that theatrical machinery and caught up in the beguiling cogs of time, guided by some unknown force, the man plunges deep into a maelstrom of many faces

CONFESSIONS OF A WHITTLER

THE PIANO TEACHER
Running Time: 4min
This short documentary is a poetic look at life, age and memory. Few people progress enough in any art form to reach such a pinnacle of performance and renown, but with time even the most masterful regress. Skills fade and memories vanish until we return to a childlike state and await that final curtain.

The untold chapter of Mary Shelleys Frankenstein.
The sole survivor of a shipwreck washes ashore on an island at the extreme north of the British Isles. The survivor, Victor, is restored to health by the local inhabitants but guards the secrets of his haunted past and of an evil which has found its way to this remote world, hell-bent on vengeance. So starts the dramatic and violent chain of events in which the tale of Victors sinister experiments gradually emerges.
