The Trail Camera short film, title image. Human sized badger looks at the camera suspiciously as he considers stealing a red BMX for a ride at the Bolehills BMX track.
The Trail Camera
The Bolehills BMX track is home to all sorts of wildlife - you'll never guess what the trail camera captures...
Expansive Arctic scene featuring a massive iceberg reflected perfectly on the calm, glass-like surface of the water beneath a moody, overcast sky. The iceberg’s textured, rugged surface contrasts with the smoothness of the reflection, creating a mirror image that enhances the sense of solitude and vastness in the Arctic landscape. The muted light and layered clouds evoke a serene yet somber atmosphere, highlighting the beauty and vulnerability of this icy giant.

JAMIE
Jamie Logan – a pioneering alpinist, has climbed some of the most dangerous climbs in the world, but nothing felt as life-threatening as admitting that, at age 69, she wanted to begin living as a woman. This short film demonstrates that love and trust can be the ultimate act of rebellion.
