Compassionate family animals, both playful and affectionate. For six years in a tented camp in the wilderness of Idaho, we lived among a pack of wolves, listening to them, earning their trust.Now in "Living With Wolves," we share more of the story of The Sawtooth Pack, first told in our two-time Emmy Award-winning documentary, Wolves at Our Door. Our own lives, brought together by a devotion to wildlife, were forever changed by these elusive, intelligent animals who accepted us. Overcoming forest fires, marauding mountain lions and sub-zero winters, we share with you a heart-warming and unique partnership of human and predator, built on trust and defying the storm of controversy surrounding the wolf.

A spate of robberies in Southern California schools had an oddly specific target: tubas. In this work of creative nonfiction, d/Deaf first-time feature director Alison O’Daniel presents the impact of these crimes from an unexpected angle. The film unfolds mimicking a game of telephone, where sound’s feeble transmissibility is proven as the story bends and weaves to human interpretation and miscommunication. The result is a stunning contribution to cinematic language. O’Daniel has developed a syntax of deafness that offers a complex, overlaid, surprising new texture, which offers a dimensional experience of deafness and reorients the audience auditorily in an unfamiliar and exhilarating way.

Kumbum 1+1 (1975-1987) is a variation on author's Kumbum 1 (1975-1987) feature-length alternative film, where 1+1 refers to the film being projected as two parallel (side-by-side) 16mm projections, each playing half of the feature film. Consequently, the runtime of this variation is cut in half. The conceptual design of the film is based on the assumptions and findings of empirical science concerning human perception of visual material. For the purposes of the film, the author of Kumbum developed a complex mathematical structure and, in accordance with it, arranged the visual material into a sequence of (thematically) diverse moving images subjected to rapid montage. This system served as a decoder for the lengths of 12,000 shots, composed of television footage combined with shots taken from the existing filmography of OM production. Kumbum drives and immerses the viewer in the visual, imposing the next piece of information on the brain even before the previous one has been processed.
