Missing Meaning - Review
Missing Meaning is a daring and introspective experiment in mobile filmmaking — an audiovisual meditation that dissolves the boundaries between technology, memory, and consciousness - created entirely through AI-driven applications.
Rather than following a linear narrative, the film unfolds as a hallucinatory stream of sensations: fragmented images, distorted sounds, and fluid transitions that evoke the texture of dreams.
Diogo’s use of AI tools doesn’t feel gimmicky or detached; instead, it mirrors the film’s core theme of surrender. The artificial intelligence acts as a kind of collaborator in the unconscious, generating unpredictable juxtapositions that feel both alien and deeply human.
Missing Meaning is a chaos perfectly edited.
Layers of digital texture and color overlap like memories resurfacing, while sound design amplifies the sensation of drifting between worlds. The result is a trance-like rhythm that draws the viewer into its inner logic — disorienting, yet oddly comforting.
In an era obsessed with clarity and control, Diogo offers something far more valuable: a cinematic ritual of letting go.
Cosmosis of Worlds - Review
What if every version of you—past, present, and future—were still out there, living their own reality?
Cosmosis of Worlds written by Richard Meaker Trask dares to explore that question with a rare mix of emotional depth and scientific curiosity.
Trask’s screenplay is an intimate and expansive piece of writing that moves effortlessly between quantum theory and human vulnerability, between the vastness of the cosmos and the quiet corners of personal experience. It introduces us to Mark Meyhee, a young academic and passionate climber whose life changes during what should have been a simple surgery. In those suspended moments between life and death, Mark glimpses what he later names Consciousness Everpresent—a profound awareness that existence never really ends, but continuously unfolds in countless dimensions.
The story takes a bold twist when Mark discovers that he is a perfect counterpart to Adam Chapman, a climber who lived on a faraway world more than a million years ago. The same man, the same body, replayed across time and space. Yet this time, survival brings revelation. Through Mark’s endurance, the script meditates on what it means to exist when the boundaries of time dissolve.
Trask grounds these vast ideas in real scientific principles—quantum mechanics, cosmic inflation, the logic of the multiverse—without ever losing touch with the emotional heart of his characters. Mark and his wife Mary become our guides through this intellectual odyssey, asking the questions we would all ask if faced with the possibility of infinite lives and eternal consciousness.
What’s most striking is the balance between science and soul.
Trask writes with clarity and grace, transforming abstract theory into something deeply human. His dialogue feels alive, his pacing confident, and his imagery hauntingly poetic.
Cosmosis of Worlds isn’t just a story about physics or philosophy—it’s a reflection on identity, continuity, and the mystery of being. It invites us to see death not as an end, but as a pause in the great rhythm of existence.
It’s an elegant, cinematic piece of speculative fiction—thought-provoking, emotional, and visually ambitious. Fans of Interstellar, Solaris, or Everything Everywhere All at Once will find themselves right at home here.
A Fantasy of Companionship between Human and Inanimate - Rev
True Friendship knows no limits!
A Fantasy of Companionship between Human and Inanimate is a touching and imaginative story about what it means to be alive—and to love—in a world where loneliness has become universal.
The film follows Alan , a toy born from a strange fusion of soul and science, who becomes the lifelong companion of Christina, a girl growing up in California.
As Christina matures, Alan begins to understand its own impermanence and sets out to challenge it, turning to the frontiers of technology and quantum existence to stay by her side.
Blending emotion, philosophy, and futuristic ideas, the story feels both intimate and epic.
The experience is further elevated by the beautiful musical score composed by Manu Martin, which accompanies the film from start to finish—subtle, evocative, and perfectly attuned to every emotional shift.
It’s a moving reflection on companionship, consciousness, and the fragile beauty of connection in an age dominated by artificial life.
Dynamics - Review
An hypnotic journey into the material unconscious of animation
Directed by Teo Baehler, with Dynamics we encounter a work that challenges the conventions of visual storytelling to embrace the purest essence of experimental cinema. In just 14 minutes, this stop-motion film manages to construct a hypnotic world where logic dissolves and gives way to a sensorial reflection on transformation.
Made entirely from everyday materials, the short surprises with its ability to elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary. There is no plot in the traditional sense: instead, a dance of shapes, textures, and suggestions emerge from the often unlikely encounter between dissimilar elements. This intuitive fusion generates a novel visual language, capable of both evoking and confusing, forcing the viewer to be guided not by the mind, but by intuition.
Is quite powerful the sensation of being in a lucid dream, where every object seems to possess its own secret life.
Dynamics is a work that seeks questions, not answers. It offers no direct message, but opens up a broad, subjective, almost meditative interpretative space. It is a film that invites contemplation, to lose oneself in the detail, the rhythm, the absence of a predetermined direction.
In an audiovisual landscape often crowded with rigid narratives and glossy images, this short idpirational film stands out as an act of poetic resistance. It is cinema as living matter, as a perceptual experience, as a pure artistic gesture.
The Rocin Talent Show - Review
Set in 1972, Texas, The Rocin Talent Show, written by Mac McStravick, begins with a humorous idea—football coaches want to test their skills and win a talent show—and then unfolds as a deeply human story, exploring universal themes with delicacy and sincerity.
It's a comedy with melancholy undertones, where laughter doesn't mask the pain, but rather accompanies it.
At the heart of the narrative is the friendship between middle-aged men, often underrepresented in film except in a lighthearted or caricatural way. Here friendship is shown with authenticity: made of silences, jokes, mistakes, bonds that stand the test of time but also uncomfortable truths.
Guilt over the death of a young former student—pushed to enlist by one of the coaches—insinuates itself into the apparent lightness of the plot, lending it a subtle yet persistent emotional weight.
It's never overly didactic, but it feels like a shadow over the characters' motivations, their need to "do something good," even if it's just a ridiculous show in front of the students.
36 flowing pages where the lighter moments (fist fights, school dynamics, interactions with students and colleagues) are written with pace and sensitivity.
The humor stems from vulnerability.
The coaches are imperfect, nostalgic, sometimes pathetic, but always human. Even the minor characters, though less developed, contribute to the overall picture.
The Rocin Talent Show surprises with its emotional maturity, addressing important issues beneath a light-hearted surface. It
's not a story of success or revenge, but of men learning to live with who they've become and still trying to do the right thing.
Hi: Part One - Review
A gothic thriller that weaves together mystery, AI attacks, and dark family secrets.
Intriguing, atmospheric, and narratively flawless, Hi Part One - written by the talented Monte Albers de Leon - is a script that captivates from the first lines and leaves no escape until the final revelation. Written with a sure hand and a vivid cinematic style, this modern gothic thriller skillfully blends the darkest mystery with elements of artificial intelligence, family subterfuge, and truths buried beneath layers of lies.
The story revolves around Grace Bloom, kidnapped at birth and raised in isolation by Luella, her enigmatic and ruthless great-grandmother. The family manor, Greystone, is more than just the setting for the story: it is a labyrinth of memory and curse, a place where every wall and mirror whisper secrets and every corner hides a deception.
Amid hidden legacies, psychological tensions, and well-calibrated twists, the script stands out for the depth of its characters. Each character has a specific purpose, a recognizable voice, and a past that shapes their choices. But it is Luella who dominates the scene: the perfect antagonist, as cruel as she is fascinating, complex and magnetic. She is the true backbone of the story—a character destined to remain etched in the viewer's memory.
Between overturned truths and increasingly convoluted family dynamics, Hi Part One proves to be a work with a lot of potential and evocative power. The screenplay suggests a compelling sequel...what we hope is to watch the all story on the big screen.
