Bride of Frankie

Cuddlefish
Directed by Cheryl Briggs, USA, 7 min. Cuddlefish is the animated story of Viktor, a daring Viking on the adventure of a lifetime. His travels come to a grinding halt when he meets the adorable love-sick kraken, Kaimana, who falls in love with the anchor on Viktor's mighty ship. The two face off in an epic conflict of wit which teaches both of them that love is blind as far as the eye can "sea."

Evoke
Directed by Asia LeMasters, USA, 15 min. Despite how pure love can be, relationships don't always end so perfectly.

After their relationship ends, Hailey desperately goes to a great length to be with Emma again.

Expiration Date
