Do We Leave This Here

(Casey McFeron, Happy Valley, OR, 2018, 8 min)
When the world seems out against Sandra and her attempts to reinvigorate her suburban life, a strange encounter with a minivan accompanies a shift into a mysterious version of her past world.

In the Shadow of the Mountain

When a sunny occasion presents itself to two vastly different individuals, one a reclusive author in old age, and the other a defiant former marine, the past they tried to block out to enjoy the moment emerges from the gloominess of their northern coastal surroundings. It will only be in their own solitude that they find the love and appreciation they need to fuel the lighthouse on the coast.
La Cartographe
(Nathan Douglas, Vancouver, BC, 2018, 34 min)
A young womans investigation into her neighbor and his seemingly dull running route inspires an unexpected plethora of feelings.
