4DWN

4DWN tells the unconventional and deeply personal story of a South Dallas skatepark whose mission is to change the lives of everyone who walks through the gate. The 4DWN skatepark is a resilience hub rooted in skate culture, tackling the challenges of food insecurity and social justice in one of the city’s poorest communities. 4DWN is at once punk, irreverent, and authentic. But it’s also organic, nurturing, and profound. The magic of this skatepark-turned-urban farm is brought to life through a beautiful, intimate mixed-media approach that pays homage to the canon of skate films that came before it. 4DWN chronicles the past and present lives of the Park’s founders and one budding young skateboarder who finds kinship, camaraderie, and a reason to keep pushing.

Annabella's Antique Mall

In the summer of 2007, two events happened that have had major long-term economic impact on a small iron mining community in northern Minnesota known for the picture Grace. The town of Bovey was faced with its local highway being rerouted to bypass its downtown. Yet just as this occurred, Annabella's Antique Mall had its grand opening in an old hardware store on main street across from city hall. Now over sixteen years later, Annabella's continues to welcome customers daily to relive a bygone era while shopping for that perfect vintage or antique treasure from a host of vendors we meet in the film. Visits to its Speakeasy and escape tunnel are thriving. A top travel destination in the area, the store draws in collectors and tourists from across the region and nation and is at the heart of this community's revival.

Chiaroscuro

Chiaroscuro… it is between the light and the dark that life operates in contrasts. Between the puppeteer and the puppet. Between shadow and light. The hands, moving or static, bring and transmit emotions. A reciprocal relationship between the puppet and those who give it life, emotions flow in both directions. It is the story of the memory that is born and that dies. But memory rarely dies, to tell the truth.
