A 125-year-old retired superhero with dementia, and her estranged grandson, are forced to reconnect after she is kicked out of her aged care facility for failing to control her powers. “Holding Out” by James Adams 📶 Connect with the Filmmakers: https://www.instagram.com/holding_out_film/ https://www.instagram.com/james_adaams/ https://www.instagram.com/elephantfilms_au/ 🎬 Director’s Statement: The film began with the idea: what if someone with super strength started to lose control of their body? I love high-concept stories grounded by human emotions, and luckily, this idea led to something incredibly universal — Responsibility. Even if you haven’t dealt with a heartbreaking condition or can’t bench 4 station wagons, we’ve all struggled to accept our responsibilities at one point or another. If everything went to plan, Holding Out is a fun, interesting, and emotional story about two people who have lived in that avoidance for far too long. I was lucky to work alongside so many superbly talented artists to bring this to life. We hope you enjoy it, and maybe even learn something new about a superhero’s copulatory requirements. 🎞️ About the Film: Writer & Director: James Adams Producer: Craig Jackson Director of Photography: David Gregan Production Designer/Makeup Supervisor: Beverley Freeman Costume Designer: Anita Seiler 1st AD: Jasmine Leech Gaffer: Daniel Ross Grip: Jon-Luc D’Lima Locations Sound: Oliver McLoughlin Editors: David Castle & David Scarborough Sound Design and Mix: Leigh Kenyon Composer: Adrian Sergovich VFX: Jason Rees Script Editor: Ruth Estelle Motion Graphics: Brendan Godfrey 1st ACs: Ella Burton & Tamryn Morris 2nd AC: Sarah Whyte Lighting Assistants: Ben Raschella & Tatiana Goode Boom Operator: Aidyn Davis HMU Artist: Adam Leesong Costume Assistants: Indigo Kuchel & Shayla Lindqvist Set Dresser: Ruby Caulfield Dressers: Claudia Kuerschner & Nicola Saccone Art Dept Assist: Jackie Zdanowicz SFX Props/Standby Props: Dominique Keeley SFX Breakaway Furniture Designer: David Wilkinson Unit Assist: Luke Librino Runner/PA: Harry Verner Casting Assistant: Bianca Robinson Script Supervisor: Brendan Godfrey Cast: Matt Crook Wendy Bos Katherine Sortini Chrissie Page Benji Groenewegen Hudson Thaller Daniela Brkic Bonet Fimeri Nick Launchbury Connect with DUST: Website 🌐: http://www.watchdust.com Follow Us on Facebook 👍: https://www.facebook.com/watchdust/ Follow Us on Instagram 📷: https://www.instagram.com/watchdust/ Follow us on TikTok 📱: https://www.tiktok.com/@watch_dust #DUST #scifi #shortfilm Submit Your Short Film: https://filmfreeway.com/alterdustsubmissions NOTE: Only completed shorts will be considered.

    Subscribe to DUST on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2aqc5vh 🪐 You are entering a fictional zone: reality has been suspended. A couple witnesses a paranormal event that separates them into two distinct dimensions. “Bisected” by Danny Piñeros 📶 Connect with the Filmmakers: https://dannypineros.com/ 🎬 Director’s Statement: Transitioning from music videos to narrative filmmaking, I’ve always been driven by the desire to craft stories that captivate from the outset. With this project, my focus shifted towards a high-concept narrative, where the central idea takes precedence over individual characters. It was a challenge I set for myself: to produce an engaging narrative from start to finish. My long-standing fascination with the paranormal, particularly when juxtaposed with scientific explanations, served as the foundation for this film. I’ve often pondered questions like, ‘How do objects move seemingly of their own accord?’ Could there be another dimension coexisting with ours, occasionally intersecting and producing what we perceive as ‘ghostly’ phenomena? This line of thought led to the inception of ‘Bisected.’ From the outset, I was deeply passionate about this concept. I’ve always yearned to delve into the sci-fi genre, but in a manner that didn’t rely on extravagant budgets or heavy VFX. The practical effects we employed, such as the door, the radio, and the woman’s disappearance, are testament to this approach. In terms of mood and tone, I drew significant inspiration from Denis Villeneuve’s work. ‘Sicario,’ with its tension, tone, and camera movements, became a reference point for our film. My aim was to craft a grounded sci-fi piece with the emotional depth of a drama. I believe this story has potential beyond its current format. It’s not just about the interdimensional concept but also the complexities of a relationship under strain. The narrative hints at a couple grappling with past issues, now thrust into an extraordinary situation. It’s a story I’m eager to expand upon, and I envision ‘Bisected’ as a feature film, allowing me to fully explore and conclude the narrative I’ve begun. 🎞️ About the Film: Director: Danny Piñeros Director of Photography: Marshall Douglis 1st AC: Raquel Wajner Gaffer / Aerial Photography: Casey Schuman PA: Chloe Lomelli Christian Flores Hair and Makeup: Alexander Faria Location Sound Mixer: Nico Pierce Cast: Natalie Polisson Robin Zamora Connect with DUST: Website 🌐: http://www.watchdust.com Follow Us on Facebook 👍: https://www.facebook.com/watchdust/ Follow Us on Instagram 📷: https://www.instagram.com/watchdust/ Follow us on TikTok 📱: https://www.tiktok.com/@watch_dust #DUST #scifi #shortfilm Submit Your Short Film: https://filmfreeway.com/alterdustsubmissions NOTE: Only completed shorts will be considered.

    🪐 You are entering a fictional zone: reality has been suspended. Amidst a desolate interstellar terrain, space faring outlaws Porter and Kai are thrust into an adventure to safeguard an ally’s enigmatic transmission from a relentless adversary in THE KEEPERS. “The Keepers” by Milton Muller 📶 Connect with the Filmmakers: https://www.thekeepersfilm.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thekeepersfilm/ 🎥 More About “The Keepers”: When a cryptic signal draws space outlaw Porter (Evan-Riley Brown) to a remote, storm-shrouded outpost, he uncovers a message from a missing ally (Michael Hogan, Battlestar Galactica) that deepens a mystery he can’t ignore. As danger closes in, Porter and his young crewmate Kai (Fin Hampton) are thrust into a tense, high-stakes confrontation with an old adversary, Dutch (Graceon Muller). The Keepers is a space adventure that hints at extraordinary worlds, powerful secrets, unseen enemies, and the adventure of a life time that is only just beginning. One Key. Infinite Possibilities. 🎬 Director’s Statement: I set out to write a light hearted adventure story set somewhere in space and inspired by the movies I loved watching when I was young. What started out as a fun idea written with my family evolved into an epic real life adventure and is still evolving! We all have some sort of passion or interest. Use it to create something you love with those you love.

So with “Would You Like To Try Again,” we wanted to merge the two and make a sci-fi movie that funnels that feeling of ruminating over your old regrets through the repetitive nature of old arcade games. It’s a small cryptic film that feels incredibly with our near silent protagonist as she gains hindsight by seeing a new perspective she didn’t before. And the entire production hopes people can empathize with her journey and really think about that question “what would I do differently knowing what I know now?” 🎞️ About the Film: Writer/Director – Michael Felker Producer – Shane Spiegel Producer – Jori Felker Executive Producer – Kathleen Felker Casting Director – Rachel Imbriglio 1st Assistant Director – Lily Ziegler Studio Teacher – Carol Bandy Associate Producer – Sydney Richman Director of Photography – Carissa Dorson 1st AC – Katie Carpenter 2nd AC – Christine Kelly Gaffer – Aaron Pagniano Key Grip – Rene Yescas Sound Mixer – Ian Wellman Production Designer – Caitlin Nicole Williams Costume Designer – Elle Leon Nostas Art Director – Stephen Magnero Set Dresser – Kiyomi Morrison Arcade Coordinator – Bob Elson, Jeff Luteran Hair/Makeup Artist – Katie Vernon Editor – Rebeca Marques Visual Effects – Jessica Kelley Composer – Logan Rees Re-Recording Mixer – Stephen Clark, CAS Colorist – Brian Barrow Additional Sound – Andy Hofle Cast: Kate Buatti Olivia Stuck Kent Mcguire Jori Felker Sydney Richman Lauren Buatti Kathleen Felker Jeff Luteran Shane Speigel Connect with DUST: Website 🌐: http://www.watchdust.com Follow Us on Facebook 👍: https://www.facebook.com/watchdust/ Follow Us on Instagram 📷: https://www.instagram.com/watchdust/ Follow us on TikTok 📱: https://www.tiktok.com/@watch_dust #DUST #scifi #shortfilm Submit Your Short Film: https://filmfreeway.com/alterdustsubmissions NOTE: Only completed shorts will be considered.

The film asks, “What if you could bring a loved one back after their physical body has died?” and explores the moral implications of this hypothetical. A Mind Cannot Touch is a sci-fi drama about a mother, LEDA, who uses her expertise in neuroscience to bring her deceased daughter, AIRLIA, back from the grave as a sentient hologram—complete with Airlia’s memories and consciousness via mind uploading. Not wanting her daughter to know that she died, Leda decides to lie to Airlia and say she merely recovered from a long-term illness… but how long can she keep up this charade when her daughter will never again be able to grow, taste and touch? And what happens when Airlia discovers the truth? Will she even want that kind of life? 🎬 Director’s Statement: A Mind Cannot Touch is a deeply personal look at loss and the lengths someone will go to avoid it. Inspired by my own mother’s loss of her first child, I wanted to present a story with plenty of room for interpretation and exploration of the viewer’s feelings. While most of us may initially recoil at the concept, I think with deeper reflection the prospect of bringing a dead loved one back to life, in any form, is something too irresistible to ignore. But as all too often in life, we put our own needs above anyone else’s, which can have catastrophic consequences for those around us and ourselves. I love grounded sci-fi that pulls at our heartstrings and leaves us with no easy answers. As the world around us races toward this eventuality, I think it’s more important than ever to ask these types of questions. 🎞️ About the Film: Writer/Director: Geoffrey Prather Producers: Geoffrey Prather, Clare O’Connor, Michael Carrier, Eric Toms Executive Producers: Geoffrey Prather, Michael Carrier, Laura Svienty, Natasha Coyle, Larry Prather, Eric Toms Director of Photography: Adam Hutsell Editor: Geoffrey Prather Composer: Geoffrey Prather 1st Assistant Camera: Joey Haley Gaffer: Cole Spritz Casting Director: Clare O’Connor Production Sound Mixer: Chris Schwab Script Supervisor: Jarred Hodgdon Hair and Makeup Artist: Nikki Martinez Lead Production Assistant: Alexandria Greiling Production Assistant: John-Justice Hill Re-recording mixer: Barry Neely Sound and Dialogue Editor: Barry Neely Visual Effects Supervisor: Dan Schmit Visual Effects Company: Engine Room Hollywood Visual Effects Executive Producer: Adam Simpson Visual Effects Coordinator: Jared Laberdesque Visual Effects Controller: Cyrene Vladish Lead Compositing Supervisor: Eric Heavens Colorist: Anastasia Shepherd Cast: Paget Kagy Love Carrier David Stanbra Connect with DUST: Website 🌐: http://www.watchdust.com Follow Us on Facebook 👍: https://www.facebook.com/watchdust/ Follow Us on Instagram 📷: https://www.instagram.com/watchdust/ Follow us on TikTok 📱: https://www.tiktok.com/@watch_dust #DUST #scifi #shortfilm Submit Your Short Film: https://filmfreeway.com/alterdustsubmissions NOTE: Only completed shorts will be considered.

    Subscribe to DUST on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2aqc5vh 🪐 You are entering a fictional zone: reality has been suspended. In 2086, after nearly seventy years of humanity living in total invisibility, the sudden reappearance of a few individuals fractures society once more—forcing one “Invisible” to navigate fear, connection, and identity in a world that no longer knows how to be seen. “Visible” by Clay Delauney Starring Henry Ian Cusick and Sonya Walger from the ABC hit series “LOST” 📶 Connect with the Filmmakers: https://www.visiblemovie.com/ https://www.claydelauney.com/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6556895/ 🎥 More About “Visible”: Set in a futuristic world where humanity mysteriously became invisible decades ago, Visible follows a reclusive artist known only as Guy. In this society, people exist unseen unless they are physically detected by technology—sensors, implants, and systems that track their movements and maintain order after a past era of chaos and anarchy. Guy has grown comfortable living unseen. He runs a small art gallery, creating work that reflects his inner thoughts, while avoiding true emotional exposure. In this world, being “visible” is rare and deeply significant—those who fully express their authentic selves in front of others physically reappear and remain seen. Everything changes when a visibly pregnant woman enters Guy’s gallery. She is one of the few “visibles,” someone who has embraced her true identity without fear. Their conversation challenges Guy’s worldview, chiefly when she reveals that visibility is a choice—one rooted in courage and self-acceptance. Inspired and unsettled, Guy confronts his own fear of being truly seen. Through his art, he begins to express his authentic self for the first time. When the woman returns, Guy unveils a new painting titled “Self Portrait”. In that moment of vulnerability and honesty, he becomes visible—transforming not just physically, but emotionally. Visible explores themes of identity, authenticity, fear, and human connection, ultimately suggesting that true existence comes from the courage to be seen. 🎬 Director’s Statement: I like movies where we never leave the main character’s side. I don’t want to get ahead of them. I want to be two steps behind. Don’t let me catch up until the end. It doesn’t need to be tied up in a pretty little bow. I just want to discover/grow/ache/flourish with the hero. Visible was a script where I could step into those shoes for a few short moments and journey along with the protagonist.
