Baelin (Rowan Bettjeman), a simple background NPC in the video game 'Skycraft' has been walking the same route for as long as he can remember.

The Ungrateful Tenant poster
NR

It’s 2026 Auckland, New Zealand, through the black-and-white lens of the German expressionist silent era. If it weren't for the online group chat and the overused electric heater, the city’s 100-year-old bungalows with no insulation would make you believe it’s the 1920s. The Ungrateful Tenant follows an anxiety-ridden millennial renter who dreams of one day buying his own house. When his paranoid frustration comes to a head, he kicks out his ‘nightmare’ flatmate, only to be struck back by instant karma, sending him on a cursed odyssey in and out of flats across Auckland. Experience the brutal absurdity of the housing crisis in slapstick fashion.

Eat the Witch poster
NR

In a dark fantasy world where witches channel their magic through a chosen theme specific to them, a young witch must deal with the fact that in the ten thousand years witches have reigned, all the tangible themes (like fire or lightning or love) have been taken, and all that's left are useless abstract concepts or grammatical articles like "the" or "and".
