Kavi
Rated: PG
Director: Gregg Helvey Producer: Gregg Helvey
Length: 19 min
Short | Drama
India and USA
Website: Kavi the Movie
I was shocked to learn that 27 million people* around the world are enslaved today. As I began to research and understand the extent of modern slavery, I knew that I had to make a movie about it. People had to know. This injustice and cruelty had to stop.
Kavi is my USC thesis film. It’s a 19-minute fictional film about a young boy who wants to escape from the brick kiln where he is forced to work as a modern-day slave. Kavi will be the first fictional film of its kind to expose the reality of “bonded labor”, a form of modern slavery.

Rated: PG
Director: Michael Tisdale Producer: Michael Tisdale
Length: 16 min
Short | Drama
USA
Twenty-two marines — all from the 325, a reserve unit based in Brookpark, Ohio — were killed in Iraq’s Anbar Province on three separate occasions between July 28, 2005, and August 3, 2005. I grew up about a fifteen-minute drive from said base and when my father died (of cancer) on August 5, 2005, and I traveled back to northeast Ohio for his memorial, my grief and that of the friends and families of those marines became entangled. By the beginning of December 2005, I had begun cold-calling the families; and in February 2006, I returned to Ohio to meet with and audio record my first conversations with five families. More than three years later, I have made innumerable trips (to Ohio) and accrued in excess of seventy-hours of audio and video material documenting the experiences of four families since they were officially notified (by the Marine Corps) of their loved one’s death.
Goldstar, Ohio is an exploration of the instant the death of a loved one is understood. It contains no fictitious persons nor fictitious events. Words are never attributed to anyone but the individual who spoke them, and names have not been changed.

Responsibilities of Men
Rated: PG
Director: Ryan Marzolph Producer: Ryan Marzolph
Length: 6 min
Short | Drama
USA
The Responsibilities of Men chronicles the daily life of the last man on earth, still trapped in the mundane rituals of his former life. Unable to cope with the terrible realities of the world around him, he chooses to blind himself by engaging in the meaningless traditions of a former world. He delivers a persuasive monologue on the merits of routine, obligation, and conformity which ironically contrasts his reality and serves to highlight the futility of his charade. As the humor wanes we see the true sadness of a man too afraid of the truth to face it. Choosing a comfortable lie over the heartbreaking truth, he condemns himself to repeat his mistakes forever.
