Gravitation (SC/10 mins) – Directed by Nolan Stolz

Composer Nolan Stolz performs the 2020 “COVID” version of his composition Gravitation, an open instrumentation piece for any 5 to 8 performers. Instead of having several musicians unsafely “uncomfortably crowd around one another” on stage like in the original version, this “COVID” version was performed by a single musician overdubbing all of the parts.

In the surreal world of First Refusal, we follow the emotional journey of a young girl who grapples with grief, forced to confront the pain of loss head-on.

Little Lillith (CA/7 mins) – Directed by Jamison Forkenbrock

A high ranking senior officer is debriefed on a top secret program.

Chimera (UK/8 mins) – Directed by Neil West
