6:00 PM – Short Film Block (18+)
An edgy and bold selection of short films for mature audiences, pushing the boundaries of storytelling and creativity.
This screening is limited to attendees 18 years of age or older.
Short Films Include:
Fool’s Gold – Would be thieves are foiled by a Cherokee curse. By TJ Morehouse, Cherokee Nation
The Dark Valley – this film captures perfectly a contrast to human idealism, where we must examine the darker parts of our perpetual slumber, where we jolt out of the most beautiful dream to wake in horror at the truth of our surroundings. Kholan Studie’s character must come to terms with the underbelly of Los Angeles and his own psyche living within such sharp contrast between dark and light.
Po’ele Wai – A weaver, Kunawai, navigates between survival and her connection to the ‘āina (land) while a mysterious rash grows on her body. 
How Time Flies – short film
They’re Not Here – a story about two young Indigenous boys coming from different parts of the world, connected but disconnected through one commonality, their culture. Through their differences they are forced to bond closer than ever before in order to survive the night they are being hunted by a SKINWALKER.
