by Patrick Jackson (Documentary and Biography)
Producer In the early 80s, director Patrick Jackson, while still a child, traveled to Libya with his family. There they recorded memories on super 8 footage, which was stored away. In this experimental short documentary, Jackson revisits the footage to discover his mother: a young woman sun drenched and in the blush of youth. Suddenly, the footage is literally fast-forwarded to present day wintry Sweden. The woman in the earlier footage has aged nearly 30 years. Set to a haunting track by eclectic musician Franz Kirmann, this short film captures what it is to time trip through memory. Written by Daneeta Loretta Saft

Destiny lives Down the Road Drama ⋄ Film Noir ⋄ Thriller / Suspense In the American Deep South everyone hustles the system, and no one can be trusted, least of all authority figures. “Destiny lives Down the Road” is the bare-fisted story of a teenaged girl's survival in a dog-eat-dog world. This is a white trash opera of epic and violent proportions.
