From Singapore to New Delhi

In a near future shaped by a five-degree rise in global temperature, Raj moves through a flooded Singapore, his body already showing signs of adaptation: webbed fingers, elongated limbs, a changed physical relationship to water, heat and survival. As he traces the origins of the first alphabets through Pali, Sanskrit and Vedic languages, his journey continues toward polluted New Delhi, where the air has become almost unbreathable. Between climate collapse, bodily mutation and the memory of ancient forms of language, the film imagines how human communication and perception may transform in a world where the body itself is forced to evolve.

Christmas Under the Northern Lights

Erin joins her dad Doug for a Christmas in the family’s former hometown of Aurora on a mission that is part business – selling the family home – and major bucket list item for Erin to see the Aurora Borealis light up the Northern sky. Realtor Lori and family friend and local tour guide Trevor create a Christmas inspired at every turn by faith, love, and hope, so much so that Christmas bells hung over decades in a forest grove ring an unbroken song, a harbinger of miracles to come.

The Spirit of Japan

The Spirit of Japan is the story of the Wakamatsu family, who have been making the traditional Japanese distilled spirit, shochu, at their Yamatozakura Distillery in Kagoshima Prefecture since the 1850s. We follow 5th generation toji (master brewer/distiller) Tekkan Wakamatsu (41) as he takes the traditions passed down by his father Kazunari Wakamatsu (77) and strives to adapt to a changing world. The film follows Tekkan, while he balances the rigors of making handmade shochu, running the family business, and maintaining a healthy family life. In a world of mass consumerism and commodification, the Wakamatsu family have maintained the 500 year old tradition of brewing and distilling sweet potato shochu by hand. Director Joseph Overbey and Producer Stephen Lyman lived with the family and began the project of documenting their craft in 2016. The Spirit of Japan offers a rarified and intimate cinematic portrait of shochu making and home life in a modern, rural Japan.
