Visually beautiful, well directed simple allegory of meaning.

Plot:
THE NARROW WORLD is the story of a gigantic alien that crashes to Earth and takes up residence in Los Angeles. Contrary to expectations, when the alien is neither hostile towards the tiny humans around it, nor communicative in any way, it falls on the populace to decipher what, exactly, this visitor wants and what it means for them. One man sees more to it- a message, perhaps, that may tell us less about the alien, and more about our deepest inner selves, about the mysteries of the soul.

The sci-fi narrative unfolds in a pseudo-documentary style that radiates with authenticity while balancing the film’s stark human drama.

Written and Directed by Brent Bonacorso

Great film about power, desire, needs, magic and limits.

Plot:

Written and directed by Kerry Yang
Starring: Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, James Hong, Marcus Natividad

Inspirational proof of concept film that thrives on ambition

Plot:
If you were murdered but given a second chance, a chance to redeem yourself and it means taking the lives of those who took yours… Would you do it?

“REDEEM The Beginning” came from wanting to make a film about a female hero that people felt authentic and true and with the focus on making REDEEM an International production.
But everyone turned down the short film script for funding, saying the things We expected: Its not possible to make this in Sweden, its not art house enough, it’s to commercial. In the end, We knew we had to found it with our own savings and time. It became a Zero budget production.

Fantastic Indie Sci-Fi Film

A deep space mining vessel has been adrift for two years. It is suspected the crew brutally killed each other, but the reason for the bloodbath is unknown. A rescue crew is sent to find if there are any survivors, what happened and why.

Given its low budget don’t expect a ton of action and special effects, but the film makes up for it with strong acting, intrigue and a story that keeps you guessing.

Stylish proof-of-concept short film – TV pilot

From the director of “From the Future With Love”, in the future there is a highly regulated process for “printing” human-like organisms, whom then remain under their owner’s control in perpetuity. These “angels” are incredibly valuable, but the constricted supply gives rise, as always, to a black market. We follow the Noo, a trio of 3 identical angels whom share a hive consciousness, as they attempt to extricate themselves out from under the control of the corrupt police officer whom has illegally created them, and secure official status for their existence.

Creative, Witty and Comical

Ned Deedry, a conspiracy theorist and Extra-Terrestrial enthusiast, had always dreamed of making contact with other-worldly visitors. But, when that day finally arrived, things don’t play out the way he’d hoped.

I’ve been watching Film Riot since 2009 and it is a joy to see U.FOh Yeah showcase as amongst their best work. The storytelling and cinematography are well crafted and Josh’s performance was stellar. Moreover, the lighting and sound were exceptional and the VFX was spot on. Watching a dynamic film within the indie short genre makes me happy to see what talent, dedication and hard work can do. The indie world is giving the studios a run for their money and I see it as a wonderful time to be a filmmaker.
