Prof Tom Foolery Saves the Planet!

Prof Thomas Foolery is desperate for fame and enters a competition to build a steam-powered tree cutting machine in 1876. It isn't until after his contraption is built that he realizes he created a monstrosity. His father urges him to come to his senses; his boyfriend leaves him. After he discovers his boyfriend shivering in the decimated forest, hooked on cocaine, he realizes how mistaken he's been. He destroys his contraption and agrees to sell his patent for a solar collecting device (that boils water) if the railroad stops distributing cocaine to its workers. In the end the railroad destroys the designs for the solar collector because it would destroy their lucrative fire wood business.

Tiny Big

At once fanciful and disquieting, “Tiny Big” presents a series of seemingly unrelated vignettes expressed through simple black-and-white line drawings, punctuated with occasional surprising bursts of color. Underscored by a soundtrack featuring the sounds of nature – wind, waves, crickets – the film eschews narrative, challenging viewers to draw their own conclusions about the significance of ritualized actions in a world that’s both hauntingly familiar and decidedly strange.

La piedra solar

In ancient times, when Juan Aldama Zacatecas was San Juan Del Mezquital Zacatecas, the Sun experienced a series of unusual activities in its surroundings. One of these strange solar activities caused the formation of a small asteroid the size of the palm of a hand, which ended up on planet Earth, landing in San Juan Del Mezquital Zacatecas. By then, Maximiliano and his friends had finally killed their eternal rival, a cattle rustler named Salomon Montengro. However, days after killing him, they accidentally came across the Sun Stone and gained great powers. Feeling pressured by their enemies, Salomon Montengro's colleagues, Maximiliano and his friends, hid the Sun Stone in the most unlikely place: in Salomon Montengro's tomb. Now that Salomon Montengro was revived thanks to the Sun Stone, he plans to take revenge on Maximiliano and his friends. To do so, he killed his own colleagues and revived them, turning them into the living dead.

Travelling Through Brush and Ink

"Travelling Through Brush and Ink" is a stop-motion animation of a little modern man traveling through four significant ancient Chinese paintings, transforming himself into animals and plants, and becomes part of the nature. Each painting represents four important stages of landscape art in Chinese history. Based on the original paintings, we built the sets and animated little character inside- all frame by frame. The animation is the opening film of 2016 annual exhibition National Palace Museum Taiwan.
