In late October 1993, a small group of mountain bikers traveled with their mountain bikes to India in order to participate in the first-ever Mt. Everest Mountain Bike Rally.
In the early morning, after a breakfast of soupy oatmeal, toast, jam, scrambled eggs and Darjeeling tea, the group was hauled by bus across the valley to Manebhanjang where a Nepalese hospitality committee greeted them in traditional garb.
The Nepalese placed white silk scarves around the necks of the participants as a greeting and good-luck gesture. Three men sang and danced to the beat of their hand drums. Men and women with weathered faces served fried sweetbreads and hot tea with milk and sugar. About three hundred spectators were present to see the riders off. Here, at 7,045 feet, they didn’t have so much as a vague idea of what the next 5,000 feet and 23 miles up had in store for them. Incredible views of Mt. Everest along with some of the harshest trails any cyclist had ever encountered.
"Golden Hour" is a series of poems written during the week-long journey by one of the participating mountain bikers, Patricia Mooney, a professional video producer.

Re-Entrification is a film that tells the story of residents that have been displaced from their homes due to the city's high cost of living. Tiny homes became a sanctuary where families can have the fundamental human right of a home. This film tells their story on how they made the decision to seek this type of support. Re-Entrification sheds light on the housing crisis in the Bay Area.

Re-Entrification means being able to move back into communities and neighborhoods that a person is originally from. It’s the way to bring back its history, beauty, struggle, pain - the soul. Re-Entrification is to create and reclaim sustainable economic structures that allow people living in the neighborhoods to thrive within their own neighborhood; to recapture the native essence of that place.

Thriller 'The Conspiracy' offers a story full of mysteries, crime and passion: in the very centre of this sometimes atmospheric world, there is a young male lover with no name (Marko Ujc), utterly bound to his love, an attractive girl called Ariadna (Nika Košir). Ariadna is a very mysterious figure, quite passionate, and yet, at the same time, pretty melancholic, even confused: as an opposite to her lover, she apparently doesn't know exactly what she wants.

This mysterious thriller contains a story where nothing is actually so as it looks like at the very first sight: every player of this deadly game is losing trust in everyone else, which leads every single character into real drama of unexpected, with not necessarily happy ending.

A film of the "Worst Humanitarian Crisis" in East Asia, the "Rohingya incident".
From Aug 25, 2017, almost 1 million Rohingya people were forced away from their homeland Myanmar and formed the "world largest refugee camp" next to the border in Bangladesh. Tens of thousands of children and women who failed to escape were killed, abused and raped.
Although such ultra-violent act --- described as Genocide: "Ethnic Cleansing" by the UN, was executed, the official records deny such facts and what actually happened was veiled in mystery. Such occurred, because of media manipulation, cover-ups, and most significantly the particular way how "Race" matters for the Myanmar people.
Succeeded to film and collect scenes from the restricted homelands and refugee camps, the documentary shows what actually did happen, is happening, and worsening, inside the darkest shadows of Asia.
Originally planned to be released in 2020, but in vain, due to COVID19, completed in 2022.
Original sound is 7.1ch.
Production company is an Humanitarian NGO/NPO. And its first film production.
Production method is Open Source Journalism and actual field gathering.
Written, directed and edited by a single person.
Director's name is Alias for security reasons, until certain situation clears.

An erotic journey through twelve visually attractive vignettes; there are twelve main concepts, with each one of them shot in a very different and innovative way, crowned with great wish to portray two of the greatest themes in our world - love and eros without any limits ...

There is a specific part of suspense in the whole project: the first vignettes are merely an innocent vision of passionate relationships among lovers, while other vignettes - especially in the middle of the film - are becomming more and more erotic, and are shot in almost hardcore style; the end is a mixture of both, romantic softcore and daring hardcore ...

Also artistic visual film without any words, from time to time shot in the style of a New Wave movement of the 60's, using many different colour filters with short takes; sometimes in full light, but sometimes also in darker tone. A memorable experience for any viewer.

This highly experimental and visually graphic film is noted because of its eternal question: what is the definition of art eros on one side and the definition of pure pornography on the other? Where are the boundaries and limits between them?

From the artist’s “Lost Tapes” series comes “Creation Scenes,” based on footage misplaced for almost twenty years and recently re-discovered.

Using traditional film techniques like scratching the emulsion with a needle, splicing and taping the film, in combination with newer technology in editing including Ipad drawing and animated Gifs, to create a soft-spoken and evocative short film.

As a young filmmaker in the nineties, the artist would encourage intense performative acts by her friends and lovers in front of VHS and Super 8mm film cameras. Dawn, an ex-girlfriend, and Jesse, the artist’s ex-husband- as an artist in his own right, are subjects in this film.

“Creation Scenes” examines the idea of who is creator and who is the creation: woman birthing man; artist as the hand of ‘God’ -the filmmaker… A meta-narrative of a disembodied artist drawing on himself – as the filmmaker draws on top of them: ”X-ing out her exes’s…”

What happens when an already very unknown indigenous people is threatened with extinction and with them their traditions and culture? The future of the Tagbanua is uncertain. They can still make a living from their traditional fishing, agriculture and harvesting edible bird nests. But the question is; for how long? Their way of life no longer fits into the modern world and is increasingly endangered by immigration, discrimination, climate change and destruction of their natural resources.

Despite the odds the Tagbanua try to bring their culture unscathed into the future and find a balance between retaining their traditions and adaptation to new challenges. We only hope that in this process not too much of their traditional way of life is lost.

Over a period of 10 years, the film team follows one of the oldest tribes in the Philippines and documents their traditional way of life. The film shows in a personal perspective how the Tagbanua deal with the challenges of modern times and fight for recognition of their rights. It is a contemporary document which captures the traditional Tagbanua way of life and simultaneously serves as an homage to this admirable indigenous tribe.

How many times in our life do we not make decisions or lose opportunities for the fear that an experience can end badly?
Che Finale (What An Ending) could be summed up only with this question. Inspired by the film and the book "Io non ho paura" (I have no fear), this track poses a series of questions about the end of things and missed opportunities. The "dream thieves", as they are called in the lyrics , only wait for the end and most often hope for a bad ending, so then you might as well try because in any case people will be there to watch and judge the choices you made, and if it goes wrong they laugh, but if it goes well...

Can a soul come alive without being both haunted and carried by a primal rip that keeps it torn between the irrepressible quest for a certain form of completeness and the equally incoercible feeling of being deprived of it forever ?
This musical short movie evokes the life-and-death bond between two twins as a quantum entanglement explored through the interconnection of several levels of reality and temporality which are all versions of the same story. What is, maybe. What may have been. What could have been. What may have been deleted. So many dimensions that constitute a vast field of possibilities articulated according to a complex game. So what is real and what is fictional, since every version of reality keeps on haunting the others as an aborted alternative version of themselves ?

Which became the bedrock for the American dream.

Season 2 of the hugely successful award-winning series (3 million views).

Edwardian newlyweds Hattie and Vivian navigate their lives on the other side of happily ever after and learn that life as heirs to the grand Chateau Laurier hotel comes with slings, arrows, enemies, opportunities and strife.

When the grand hotel was opened in Ottawa in 1912 it represented all that was extravagant and privileged at the dawn of a new century. The surrounding town was little more than a frontier. This is Canada in the moment it blooms onto the world stage, growing pains and all. Chateau Laurier follows the struggle to control power of the hotel (and beyond) between Briar Hays (Tymika Tafari), the new owner of the hotel, her estranged brother Vivian (Luke Humphrey), his wide-eyed new wife Hattie (Kate Ross Leckie), her acerbic Aunt Esme (Fiona Reid)…and Gabriel Sabot, the Cajun-creole boss of Lowertown (Emmanuel Kabongo).

The show has a core cast of recurring characters vying for power in the family-run hotel in 1912 Ottawa. Uniquely Canadian, Chateau Laurier is told with a flair for the dramatic, with diverse, distinct, entertaining characters and a dose of humour.

Paint On Paint # 1-8 is an experimental animation film that brings together eight autonomous films, produced and made between March 2020 and October 2021, marked by the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and that follow some common structural principles: each film explores a different animation technique related to the use of color and digital brushes; each movie is 3 minutes and 33 seconds long; each film was set to music and sounded by a different young composer/sound designer, with the exception of nº8 which starts from a soundtrack created by Vasco Diogo himself, for which a montage was made using images from the previous films. As a whole, the film, with an eminently abstract character, expresses interior visions, concepts and perceptions linked to the ideas of contamination, recording emotions, freedom and enclosure, delirium and hope for a better world.

Good Morning, This screenplay written professionally is based on my published book: The Falklands war from defeat to Victory by John Alden. The screen play is 92 pages in length and tells the true story of a group of Royal Marines, who in 1982 defended the Falkland Islands against overwhelming odds only to be captured and taken prisoners of war. A few weeks later they join the task force to recapture the islands from the invading Argentinian forces, eventually raising the union jack once again over Stanley. It’s a very personal view of the conflict which is nearing its 40th anniversary.

Julian turns up the heat in their attraction with steamy kisses and stops her from taking a tampered with flight. She must tell him what she knows. The drama is heightened when Julian is caught filming subverts installing a counterfeit part into an aircraft on which Skye was to travel. Will she pull the trigger on a subvert getting a gun to go where Julian is trapped and the felon’s partner is wielding an assault gun?

The B-story of a WWI diary found in a steamer trunk belonging to Skye’s US infantry musician grandfather is a story of men of character in WWI France. The correlation of the WWI B-story to the aircraft sabotage and robbery A-Story is that of finding her grandfather’s diary softens the terror of the lost journal with a found diary. In addition, it puts values Americans fought for in the foreground against the famous status of plagiarists for plagiarism and capitalism by treason.

A mother and daughter from Connecticut and a victim of sex trafficking from Haiti are drawn into a dangerous web of exploitation on the streets of San Francisco.

While not based on a true story, the characters are amalgams of real people and documented cases. It is the tragic story of love and innocence destroyed by dark forces and contains echoes of the Persephone and Demeter myth.

‘Who Puts A Fishbowl Here?' is a video journey of a 20-year-old girl, it explores inner consciousness through dreams.

As an old Chinese saying by Wang, Yangming says ‘nothing exists beyond consciousness’, people’s consciousness and all those other than it (better job positions, wonderful objects, beautiful houses, or a so-called successful life, etc. ) reflect each other.

Beyond our dreams, we are able to touch the truth of our consciousness, inner minds, and souls, which could be one way of making us achieve the enlightenment of happiness.
