Film 1, Art Museum (FullFilm.h264), was directed and produced by Kailong Ren (@kl.r.kl.r). Special thanks go to Leila Ghouri and Kimmo Moykky (both are specialist technician from film and video units).

The soundtrack, remixed by Kailong Ren (@kl.r.kl.r), blends “Love and Loyalty” from Black Panther with “Mia & Sebastian’s Theme” and “Someone in the Crowd” from La La Land. The scene—built entirely in Blender by Kailong Ren (@kl.r.kl.r)—was captured using green-screen production also led by him.
Film 2, Squelch (1-MinuteTrailer.h264), was directed and produced by Anna Cantes (@anna_cantes). Squelch explores three characters each representing different stages of life and what happens when the balance between these stages is broken. Please contact Anna directly for further information.
Film 3, Planet Kazaya (FullFilm.h264), was directed and produced by Soo Hwa Chang (@stonedisland9).
What if a nation set happiness as their social goal, instead of money?
Please contact Soo directly for further information.
Film 4, The Factory (FullFilm.h264), was directed and produced by Kailong Ren (@kl.r.kl.r). He treated the project as the capstone of his self-taught Blender journey; by crafting a cinematic sci-fi world, he acquired an array of Blender techniques—from modelling and rendering to camera work and animation.
Piano background music was also composed by him.
