Awards/Screenings: N/a Watch Trailer: https://vimeo.com/136510657 A pilot episode of Popp Over America. A web series that follows Joe Popp on 48 state tour as a singer/songwriter on a motorcycle. Awards/Screenings: N/A This film is an interweaving of the magical music of guitar, a monologue - revelation that was written by the musician himself and charming beautiful video that has been shot in 30 countries during 3 years by the filmmakers Olga and Andrii Andreiev (Paganel Studio). The film is called 'Internal Flight' - this is the flight that we take in order to understand ourselves, find the answers on the questions "Who am I?', 'Who has created this world?', 'Why this world is created this way and not another way?' So, sit back and take this beautiful flight together with the authors that created it from all their hearts for you! Awards/Screenings: Yes Watch Trailer: https://vimeo.com/182521867 Two different characters become friends after they embraced each others. When I first heard the statement: ''Unsafe water kills more people than war'' I was caught off guard. In 2017? really? I grew up in Israel, a country troubled by both lack of water and war, and somehow I had never heard this before. How could this be that Hundreds and millions of people live in Africa without access to clean drinking water, resulting in famine and poverty, and the world turns a blind eye to the situation. Women and children spend countless hours a day searching for water. Long distances are traveled, and physical toll is taken to find water that at the end of the day is dirty and contaminated. Not only does this affect health, it also keeps children out of school, and robs adults from being able to find work, resulting in the indefinite perpetuation of poverty. As a documentary filmmaker and photographer, this reality was hard for me to believe, and I needed to see it with my own eyes. I felt compelled to take my camera to Africa to shed light on this problem. Awards/Screenings: N/A Larry Hartman, is like every wannabe actor pursuing the 'Hollywood Dream' until man's best friend steals his audition and takes off with his career!

Awards/Screenings: Yes Watch Trailer: https://vimeo.com/205005932 A guy is about to do something that will definitely regret. He wanders through the city at night, thinking about all the choices that led him to make that decision. He will discover that when everything goes wrong, something can go even worse. Awards/Screenings: Yes A wannabe stand-up comic's dreams are dashed when he realizes the texting praise he's been receiving from a friend is nothing but meaningless emojis.
