♇ | The Plutonians

What really happened to Pluto? How could a planet just stop being a planet overnight? And why are scientists still fighting over this event (“awful”, “vindictive”, “essentially unforgivable”) to this very day?

Welcome to The Plutonians, an acerbic, almost-true comedy about how we lost the ninth planet, and how one deeply insecure Pluto expert lost his job, his marriage, and his identity over a single disastrous weekend in Prague, 2006.

Generously supported by the Sundance Institute Producing Lab Fellowship, the Sundance Institute / Sloan Foundation Commissioning Grant, and the NYU Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Feature Film Award, The Plutonians is slated to begin principal photography in 2022.

All Dogs Die

Allir Hundar Deyja (original title)

Iceland, Croatia, USA | Narrative | Icelandic | 2019 | 17 min

A solitary farm is home to an equally solitary man named Gunnar. The endless silence that surrounds him is occasionally disturbed only by the barking of his canine companion, and by the presence of his granddaughter, who turns up one day… A tender story of unspoken fears, of powerful gestures that disguise weakness, and of mortality, a subject we all have to address at some point in our lives.
