The Happy Cat

Bookends
When a boy sees the girl of his dreams by chance, he must decide whether to introduce himself or forever wonder what could have been.
Move
MOVE depicts the surreal dream life of a young comatose man, and how it attempts to guide him to consciousness. Although he seems to be disconnected from life, his interior self echoes symbols of caring from the outer conscious world. Even after he appears to awaken, his imagination presents more ambiguity.
