Dale Hayward

An office worker unravels as he struggles to deal with bullying, psychological violence and harassment at work. At work, psychological health can sometimes be so fragile that it "hangs by a thread." To represent this reality with both accuracy and sensitivity, the team created crochet characters representing the various faces of workplace psychosocial risks, from harassment to violence. By capturing the public’s attention through emotion, the ad encourages open discussion and proactive management of such risks in the workplace, just like any other risk.

Dale Hayward brings to life his watercolour on paper. This film was made as part of the fourth edition of the NFB's Hothouse apprenticeship.

Exploding vinyl records, stereo gear, and cables come to life.

A vain and arrogant youth dares to enter Baba Yaga’s living house of bones. What emerges will forever fill our nights with terror.
