WEVAL - SOMEDAY by Páraic Mc Gloughlin
http://bit.ly/2IcXeDz Taken from Weval's second album "The Weight". http://bit.ly/2swQ067 Last year Weval approached me with the idea of developing a music video for 'Someday'. Upon listening to the track ,which I loved, I had ideas of what I thought would fit. After some discussions with the guys we came up with a loose structure. We aimed at creating an abstract journey with a sense of ambiguity holding underlying core concepts: Where are we going,are we going in the right direction? Our situation on earth is fragile, as individuals, as a people and the planet itself is delicate Nothing is certain; life can change dramatically for better or for worse in an instant.We may fear losing what we have but we try to hold on. Big thanks to Weval, super happy to put images behind their amazing sounds! Imagery: Personal photography,Google earth Stock,Public domain.

A Thousand Casts by FELT SOUL MEDIA
Winner of the 2019 Vimeo Staff Pick Award at Mountainfilm in Telluride, CO. Directed by Ben Knight and Travis Rummel Fisherman Oliver White’s life reads like a storybook. Hand-plucked to work for a high-power financial firm while he was a fishing guide, he went on to pursue a dream in the Bahamas, narrowly escape death and build a nonprofit [https://www.indifly.org] that takes him around the world using fly fishing to help indigenous communities protect water. A Thousand Casts follows this philosopher and outdoorsman to the Kingdom of Bhutan, where the royal family has invited him to find a mythical fish on the brink of extinction. Does Oliver have "a golden horseshoe up his ass," or does he possess a depth of character that’s rare in today’s world? The answer reveals itself with each cast.

The film language, the sound design and the acting are liberating. – Christin Berg, head of programming Nordisk Film Kino An exciting movie: Challenging, atmospheric, thought provoking, uncomfortable and surprising. And the actors play very well. – Svend Jensen, head of Arthaus BERGEN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2017 Best Norwegian Short Film: NO MAN IS AN ISLAND Statement: The winner is a brave and ambitious film that doesn’t shy away from big existential and political questions. Made in different modes, sometimes in a manner that can even be pretentious, it manages to land its many ideas elegantly, winning the audience with an authentic, humorous and spontaneous approach. A surprisingly fresh film about friendship, belonging and prejudice, and an impressively confident start for its filmmaker. Jury BIFF: Aleksander Huser, Einar Aarvig, Henning Rosenlund MINIMALEN 2018 Best Norwegian Short Film: NO MAN IS AN ISLAND Statement: The jury was impressed with the visually beautiful scenes, the sound design, acting and poetry in this film. This poetry is juxtaposed with an encounter with the rough reality of racism hidden behind a message of tolerance which makes the glass ceiling even more hurtful for the protagonists of the film.
