A very well done video named “Sight”, where relationships in the future are altered (augmented?) by technology which greatly affects the dynamics between men and women.
From Vimio, “The movie incorporates gamification. Look how the guy is scored on how he cuts a cucumber. The “act interested” is a suggestion in his interface because he already mastered the game and unlocked everything while she is still just level 5.
I also think that he’s somewhat a more important person than just ‘working in the company’ it looks like he’s the owner or something of the league, he has root access to code and sourcecode of the implants. He has major obsession with perfection which is the main theme. “for a perfect night” was the toast. He rewrote the girl to get the third bowtie, so that he can get the wingman achievement, nothing more, he’s not really interested in the girl.”
There are many ways in which you can narrate a story. Here director Brian McAllister made the unique decision to use rhyming poetry to narrate his story about a young boys summer job and his encounter with a kindly old man.
There’s no doubt that the emergence of technology has changed the way in which we interact with each other, especially in the realm of dating and relationships. With the internet we have the the ability establish and maintain romantic connections with people on the other side of the world. The downside to this great opportunity is the fact that even though you can chat and share pictures you are never really sure how being with that individual in person will be so you create fantasies to fill in the gaps.

If you haven’t watched the short film Apricot by filmmaker Ben Briand, you should take a mental break from the mundane and step into this dreamlike ten minute masterpiece. Created by Moonwalk Films (the same powerhouse that created Signs,) this film is in itself an invitation to take a “mental break” from the present and explore the importance of our memories. How sharp and clear is the memory of your first love? The main male character in the film repeatedly says, “I can’t remember”. In many ways, I identify with this man.
The visual aspect and propensity for details are not my memory’s strong suit. I can recall the name and vague appearance of my first love, and when I pass someone wearing the cologne he wore, I remember the way I felt the first time we kissed. What conversations did we have? What likes and dislikes? What ended it all? I can’t really remember. It’s all one fuzzy, dreamy blur from youth that makes me smile at the ridiculousness of it and feel a twinge of saddness that it came to an end. (more…)
If you’ve been through a break up ( or are going through one now) you know how stressful and anger inducing they can be and how often times music is the most effective way to sooth the inner turmoil you feel. Using straight forward lyrics and her bright voice, Zee Avi describes a relationship in which you feel like your beating your head up against a wall and there’s no getting through to the other person and you just want to, as she says, throw your shoe through a concrete wall. That’s a relationship dynamic I’m sure we’ve all experienced at least once.

THE LAST HUG is a story about Mini, a young girl who has everything that people of that age could dream of..a big house..car..a secured future..but what she didn’t have..was a father. Have any of you lived not knowing who your father was? No pictures in the house and a mother who refuses to talk about him? Conflicts and heartache are fairly predictable elements of this short film, but the end is sweet.

Frequently, working women in Dallas are confronted with men who just do not get it. In this fun short film, Janet, plays a hot – in a corporate sort of way- young woman who is confronted with having to deal with Steve, the business owner’s brother.
Janet has met this type of man around Dallas before. A man either loathed or laughed at by most women with half a brain who has had to endure the BS that comes with the corporate world. So how do women – women in Dallas – pass the time during such encounters. Using her imagination, Janet goes to the dark side. Take a look.

This short film is simply average, but we were looking for a short about breakups with British accents and then we stumbled upon Status. Status is about a young man’s dating experience after being dumped on his birthday by his long-time girlfriend.
Directed by Marc Hampson / Written by Marc Hampson & Ronnie Ursenbach / Produced by Aaron Fairley / Cinematography by Paul Olson / Sound Design by Ronnie Ursenbach / Music by History Books
