Clementine & Sage and The Rain's Rage

5-month-old rescue kittens (and blood sisters) Clementine and Sage react to the first ever bout of heavy rain they’ve experienced. The heavy rain makes their typical boisterous and playful actions screech to a halt, as they begin to mirror the rain’s dreary, lull-like nature in their own temperaments. Ch1: The film goes from the inside of a mixing bowl catching dripping water. The kittens are hesitant at first, but soon both stare out the window (Ch2), edited as indistinguishable from one another, as they both partake in the same curiosity towards the rain. Ch3 sees the kittens find peace with their new discovery, and rest, while the world itself moves on - much like how we exit from the bowl, and end up becoming attached to the cats, the end of Ch3 sees us attached to a window, peering in, making audiences believe Ch4 would be from the perspective of the world entire. Each chapter becomes more consequential, larger, and less isolated, as if becoming privy to the world.

Rebel Wife

Mary Jane Irwin O'Donovan Rossa of Clonakilty, West Cork, was an Irish nationalist and activist. She was the wife of Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, the famous Fenian prisoner and agitator whose funeral in 1915 sparked the Easter Uprising that led to the establishment of the Republic of Ireland. But Mary Jane had more to do with the revolutionary Fenian movement, Rossa's release from prison and making the historic funeral a reality than has been acknowledged. While Rossa's funeral was a huge and widely reported event, Mary Jane's death in the summer of 1916 was hardly noticed. While Rossa is buried in the Republican Plot at Glasnevin National Cemetery in Dublin, Mary Jane's grave in Staten Island, NY is largely forgotten. Directed by Williams Rossa Cole, Mary Jane's great-grandson as a companion work to his 2016 documentary "Rebel Rossa".

Lost in Helsinki

Actually, we wanted to make a different film, but due to certain circumstances and a change in legislation, we were unable to continue our journey and got stuck in Helsinki. Sara was reminded of many similar situations in her life where she faced rejection and was not allowed to do certain things, so we decided to summarize some examples and combine documentary and animation to represent what so many BIPOC people experience (BIPOC = Black People, Indigenous People, and People of Color). Finding your place in life is a challenge in itself. However, being rejected based on external traits is devastating. By transforming these very traits into superpowers, you can reclaim your life and self-worth, stand up for yourself, and become part of a society.
