The story of three passionate and quirky characters obsessed with knitting. It defies the stereotype that knitting is just for grandmothers and introduces contemporary trends in a vibrant knitting community.

DEATH RATTLE Bucky Knaebel TRT 3:18
This is the first short I’ve ever made. It was part of an assignment where we were allowed one 10-hour day of filming, on school property, and only two characters. I converted a studio to look like a bedroom where the short played out. It’s a quick story about a woman surviving a home invasion.

Set after a nuclear holocaust, this tale follows one man as he encounters others in this post-apocolyptic world. Tensions are high because resources are low, and no one can be trusted.

AFRICAN JOURNEY Emiko Omori TRT 15:00
Screening programs have successfully reduced cervical cancer mortality rates and the incidence of advanced disease in industialized countries, but in Uganda and all over sub-Saharan Africa, througout Latin America and Southeast Asia, women continue to die from this preventable disease. This piece produced for PINCC (Prevention International: No Cervical Cancer) recounts the efforts of those trying to change the outcomes for these women.
