- Idle Worship: (10mins) Three millennial Brooklynites summon an ancient cleansing goddess, only to discover that enlightenment comes at a cost.
- Breaker: (11mins) In tomorrow's Tokyo, the technologically-enhanced body of a young mercenary hacker is overrun by a sentient data weapon. Wanted, the parasitic A.I becomes her only ally as she is chased across the city by those seeking to salvage it.
- Only the Beautiful: (12mins) Loosely based on John B Calhoun’s mice utopia experiment known as ‘the beautiful ones’, 'Only the Beautiful’ is a short science futurism fiction film about agency. It follows Harold, the child of a rigid, isolating, humanity preserving metropolitan eco-system, who has to decide whether to take actions, to move freely and imperil the system that sustains humanity, or to sit still and condemn humanity to cyclical stagnation. When the system's original architect kills herself, will Harold take over her role preserving its functions or topple the system that has oppressed him his whole life?
- Reggie: (21mins) A science-fiction film set in the American South where a reclusive man risks his eternal solace for human interaction.
