FILMS FOR HUMANITY

"I Am Here" 2022

kindness ISN'T NICE

People commonly mistake the term nice for kind, but there's a difference. Niceness can be feigned, indifferent, manipulative, and self-serving. Kindness serves us all. It calls for gentle concern and isn't done with the expectation of praise or reward.

Kindness costs but draws upon a currency we all have in abundance.

What We Do In The Light

In this anthology, five intimate tales explore the fragile line between life and death, love and loss, reality and the unseen. Each episode stands alone yet echoes the same question: what lingers when words fail, trust fractures, or time runs out?

Lady of Avalon

The Shave

Hereafter

The Lucky Ones

Into the Bardo

From a tender reunion between a caregiver and a nonverbal autistic man (The Shave), to a family whose act of kindness turns into a fight for survival (The Lucky Ones), to a grieving mother’s desperate plunge into the spirit world (Into the Bardo), these stories unearth human connection at its most raw and transformative. A father pleads with the cosmos for one more day with his son (Hereafter), and a patient in a rehabilitation center is stirred back to life by a mythical visitation (The Lady of Avalon).

Silent Generation

Silent Generation is a horror short film that explores the dark side of aging and isolation. An elderly man faces a terrifying turn of events while performing a mundane chore - laundry. As he navigates the challenges of getting older, a seemingly ordinary task takes a sinister turn, revealing a hidden horror within the confines of his own home.

The film delves into the unsettling experiences of the elderly, focusing on themes of loneliness, vulnerability, and the fear of the unknown. The suspenseful narrative and eerie atmosphere create a disturbing yet thought-provoking experience for viewers. Silent Generation offers a unique perspective on the challenges faced by the older generation.
