Moment Capacity is a drama set in a small-town, which explores the universal struggle of empathy.

CHRISTY, a despondent young woman, escapes a bad relationship and returns to her small-town home, hoping to find stability and a new beginning. But she discovers TOM, one of her dad’s war buddies, is in town for a visit. Her parents seem ill-equipped to deal with her depression – especially when they find out she’s pregnant. When she later suffers a miscarriage, she finds little solace in her parents’ clumsy attempts at empathy, but a small measure of hope in her connection with Tom.

A young man, George, enters a yellow-wallpapered room and is entranced by images of a woman projected through cracks in the wall. She is ill and grows more sick and demented in the yellow room until she collapses and the light goes out. George tears the wallpaper off the walls revealing images of the woman, his mother, before her illness. He then repaints the room blue and is able to leave it in peace.

Digital Decay is an experimental science fiction film that delves into media’s transition from film to digital. We will explore this theme through several mediums: 16 mm black and white film, digital, found footage, projections, and more.

Synopsis: In the 1960s, a 12-year old boy and his parents were sent into space on an undocumented mission. They took with them a collection of home movies, as well as popular television shows and commercials from the time. It is now the year 2009, and his parents have been dead for nine years. After having not received a shipment from mission control in years, he suddenly receives a VHS player and a DVD player with a collection of videos. In watching them, he discovers that times have changed.
