Attila is a racially-charged short film about finding hope in a divided country -- a story more topical than ever. America is at war in 1864 as Union Major General William T. Sherman plans his brutal March to the Sea through his beloved South and is confronted by the moral convictions of an escaped slave and contraband soldier. This film was adapted from the one-act play.

A small dinosaur named Citipati falls prey to a global extinction event caused by a meteorite impact. Despite his struggling, his body soon succumbs to its wounds and collapses. In his mind, though, the fight against the traumatic experience continues, nearly trapping the fearful dinosaur in his own nightmare. But after overcoming instinct and regaining control of his dreamscape, Citipati decides to face his fears head-on; literally confronting the impact event in his mind and going out in a blaze like a phoenix.

Fake news! Attack on Science! Subversion of the Legal System! This film explores the highly topical issues of media manipulation, science for hire, and perversion of the legal system ... all through the lens of the Deflategate scandal. Through interviews with attorneys, journalists, professors, and fans, we examine how accusations of deflated footballs became a national obsession. We go beyond the football to show that the tactics used by the NFL in this scandal are not unique, but are frequently replicated to manipulate public opinion, influence government regulation, muddy the waters around science, and unfairly impact the outcome of court cases.
