Kicking off at the point of relationship meltdown, we follow 20-somethings Emily and Ray as they traverse the uncomfortable world of the newly single.

Shot in Melbourne, this study of fresh singledom captures the grinding pain and quiet triumph of rediscovering who you are outside of a relationship.

The Skateboard Saga

After a boy is knocked off his orange skateboard by a car, the skateboard continues on its way, developing a mind of its own and wreaking havoc on innocent citizens until it is stopped in its tracks by a clever little old lady with a walking stick. The eight minute saga features live action, animation, claymation, pixelation, stunts, models, puppets, special effects, superheroes, kids, animals, snails, - and no actual dialogue, just music, sound effects and "wordless dialogue" which consists of mumbled sounds to convey the appropriate emotion.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

In 1997, the feminist punk poet and experimental writer Kathy Acker interviewed the Spice Girls for the Guardian (not, as has passed into legend, US Vogue). The Spice Girls were at the height of their fame, flicking peace signs at us from every teenage girl’s bedroom wall on posters ripped from magazines. Acker on the other hand was an unapologetic weirdo in the same vein as William S Burroughs, writing books so filled with sex, incest and violence that West Germany banned Blood and Guts in High School for being too pornographic.

Three Chords and a Wardrobe

Rachel and Nick are your model, contemporary relationship. They're young, hip, creative and independent. In the end, they can't escape the basic differences between men and women. In '90s psycho-babble jargon - women are from Venus and men are from Mars. And in this relationship, Mars needs guitars and a chart-topping hit song without any silly domestic interruptions. Venus needs consideration, understanding and a hand changing a light fitting in the kitchen. So when Nick goes in search of the perfect sound and Rachel has an axe to grind - the Gulf War is about to begin. They say all you need is three chords and a wardrobe and you've got the perfect song...relationships aren't so easy.

The Samoa Deal

Imagine being a young, upwardly mobile executive successfully making your way in the world. You’ve got a great job, some good friends and have been tasked by the boss to close a do-or-die deal. Now, imagine that closing the deal takes you to a country where you don’t speak the language, you don’t understand the culture and, if the deal falls through, it will cost you your career. Well, that’s exactly the situation Henry faces. Henry has never known family or loyalty. Now, he has to convince the Matai of a village that these are exactly the characteristics he and his company embody. Further, his growing attraction for Tua, the Matai’s daughter, is making him question if his career is really what’s most important to him. If he can’t balance all these competing interests, Henry may lose it all: his job, his career and, most importantly, his one true chance at love and acceptance.
