The Puppeteer's Assistant by Dylan Mars Greenberg
The Puppeteer’s Assistant was commissioned by Adult Swim and was first broadcast as part of their official compilation Adult Swim Smalls Vol 5. The film is based on a made up urban legend that I invented that you can’t give puppets salt water to drink or something terrible will happen. Visually the film is a collaboration between animator Hannah Schilsky, designer Glitter Macabre and myself.

WATCH HEREThis is Just to Say by Ayesha Bashir
This piece showcases the ritual of fruit cutting as an expression of apology, appreciation, and adolescence; a love language of sorts within different Asian cultures. The visuals follow a familial voice-over between the artist's parents as they discuss their collective love of mangoes. Dedicated as a love letter to my parents and William Carlos Williams.
Who raised you? by Blair Taller
After discovering a deer carcass in her neighborhood, a girl begins to conflate herself with the image, causing her to look closely at her life. The question leads her down a rabbit hole of self reflection, artistic ritual, and dreamlike premonition, bringing the goriest depths of her subconscious into her reality. With a new understanding of herself, the girl attempts to reconnect with her everyday life while acknowledging her past.

There is joy left in the corners where we forgot to look. There will never be a reason to stop the joy. NUMTOT enthusiasm.
Drown by Duncan Taylor
One day, I bought a small lot of someone's old Super 8 home movies for 15 bucks off eBay. When I projected them on my wall, I was fascinated by just how many of the rolls were family summer vacation footage and started thinking about how I was watching some random stranger's memories and wondering why/how they ended up for sale online. I felt this weird obligation to destroy the footage afterwards so I set out to do that using layered rephotography and a live noise soundtrack created with my friend Bruce using the projector's motor sound as our original source.

ZeroZeroZeroZero by isamisomiso
ZEROZEROZEROZERO is a short experimental animation by Isa Karliner-Li aka isamisomiso. The film explores the spatial, social and psychic world of the transfeminine subject. Opening to a scene of a photogrammetric street corner, the film uses spatial mapping to render the psychic and otherworldly. Inspired by the Bushwick queer/trans experimental noise scene, isamisomiso employs noise music by FUCKM3IMSICK to emphasize the intensity of balancing divinity and psychosis - a consistent motif in all of her projects.
