House Of Dreams

Sometimes a man's mind can become a House Of Dreams...

(2017) Directed by Dennis Colligan

Sometimes a man's mind can become a House of Dreams...

As Henry’s dream world and waking world collide, he is haunted by his dark side as he longs for a sense of goodness in the world.

House of Dreams is a short film that explores the inner workings of a man’s mind - a man who feels lost, whose inner self wants answers to questions that the outward self he projects to the world can't quite get a grip on. The film asks questions about consciousness, about existence, and what it means to be a human being in these times without presuming to provide answers for the viewer.
 
The film delves into the mind of a man, played by Jeff Hansen, whose waking world is colliding and overlapping with his dream world. Dream sequences mesh with reality as our main character, haunted by his dark side, longs for a sense of goodness in the world.
 
As we explore his thoughts and dreams we witness his struggle and come to recognize the increasingly thin line between his dream world and his reality.

A couple has a falling out on their anniversary, filmed in extreme closeup.

(2015) Directed by Ty Ueda

After a few years of their relationship, a couple's romance has started to go a little flat. While one partner is totally unaware of the failing points of their relationship, the other feel that their relationship slaps itself in the face.

The film is shot entirely from the bottom lip to the bridge of the nose. While the story is relatable and easy to follow, the film gives you the opportunity to focus more closely on body language and micro-aggressions. Plus, how often do you get the chance to watch someone's mouth as they talk?

Directed by Jaspreet S Monga

Kabir is all alone in this foreign country which he moved to via illegal means. He dearly misses his family whom he last met before stepping out of his Country. He hasn’t gone back ever since and now after so many years going back is not even an option as he is living unlawfully and the fear of getting caught and losing everything is greater. This is the first night in all the nights and probably the last when he opens the door to someone he can confide in – his concerned neighbor , who has come to check on him.

Salma moved to the USA to pursue her higher studies and get a job. But the idea of leaving her parents behind always haunted her. This particular night she has finally made her decision to leave everything that matters now and choose what matters the most. It hasn’t been an easy decision to make , either ways she is losing something close to her heart and she will be far away from, be it her love for Mike or her Parents. But she has to brave it all to go and start from where it all began.
