Art requires concentration, most often solitude. This condition is essential for the painter Salvatore Garau. Yet the artist decides to question himself by taking a large white canvas (2mx5m) and sharing the creation of the work together with the inmates in the high security prison of Massama, Sardinia. He does not intend to teach prisoners how to paint, but to share creative energy with those who are not used to freedom, let alone creative freedom. On the canvas the prisoners can unleash their imagination that leads to wonder, and wonder is power. Power is openness without fear. The documentary "The canvas" follows this challenge, the surprising discoveries, the beginning and the development of a project that shows the power of art and speech, especially in shady and sad places like prison.

Marina is incredibly stubborn, nonchalant, often vulgar, impolite, insolent, and can’t bear her mother.
Anyway... Marina is 16! And amongst her many flaws, one can be particularly dangerous: her indiscretion. Because Marina has a hobby: she tells online every single detail of her personal life.
No secrets with her. You want to know where she is? Follow her on Instagram or Mindbook, you’ll find the tidings on live feed. And if on top of that she uses Switch Cam, a technology capable of making a video in a single live stream switching between devices, it comes with no surprise that, one night, when she’s alone with her mother, an intruder enters the house..

Challenging media complacency and the 'blanding' out of culture (and 'cancel culture' toxicity at the more polar end of the spectrum), the film explores big-cheese-corporate-media backed manipulation, monopoly and collective (from fringe to society at large) control and the relentless associated 'brain feed' of new and age old dogma forming a digital era gridlock to the collective neural networks of bland formulaic franchise media and entertainment output.
With tongue firmly in cheek the film uses metaphor including a 'birthing sequence via ear canal' to showcase what is seen as a toxic codependent relationship and the choice to free our minds from this toxic engineered algorithmic stream of doldrum via a means of inner alchemy proactively reshaping the effects on us in a mindful way opening the doors to new insight once again.

Following on from the events of Valdís (web-series) this prequel to the Scowling Dusk Trilogy. An epic arthouse Grand Guignol presented in two parts. Set in a strange 'limbo' world between life and death and close to the river Styx, we meet a puppet who begins to tell us about his friends who may or may not be already dead...

This substantial independent film was shot over a number of years with the same company of actors working with the unusual vision of director Aidan J Crowley (Valdís). An exploration of the influence of psychosis on the human condition as well as ancient mythologies and the tragic consequences of death and suicide. Using the forte of fantasy cinema and puppetry, a suggestion of stop-motion, Shakespeare verse and most importantly the faces and voices of his actors playing multiple characters, Crowley weaves a disturbing, confusing but splendid web of imagery and noise, complimented by the beautiful cello score of Deryn Cullen.
This is a challenging film, presented in two parts, atypical of any modern movie and with an intermission; but it is certain that you will be enthralled, irritated, confused, moved and impressed by the end of this opus. Crowley remains a unique filmmaker and one to watch. This introduction to his 'Scowling Dusk' world makes an impression on your subconscious.

This song was inspired by my friend Kent Soper who is featured first in the music video. He still delivers his mail route even during treatment for stage 4 esophageal cancer. I asked him what motivates him and he told me his personal mantra is that he is stronger than yesterday and that it would make a good song. I then decided to interview people I knew had been effected by cancer. I interviewed over 2 dozen cancer fighters and their family and used the notes from their interviews coupled with my own feelings to write the lyrics to this song. I used their thoughts and experiences to consider what would be the best way to approach shooting a music video. I hired Vincent Pelina to bring the song to life in a music video that would pay tribute to real cancer warriors and real people who had lost someone they love to cancer. My hope is that this video will give encouragement,Inspiration and comfort to those who are dealing with the effects of cancer or any life threatening illness.

In middle-class Brooklyn in 1971 a mixed race family was simply not the norm. The S.S. Robin takes place in Brooklyn, New York in 1971. It tells the story of the DeLucas - a working-class Italian/American family who struggle with the turbulence of the early 70’s, while facing new and unexpected challenges stemming from the inclusion of a mixed race child into their home.
The S.S. Robin opens with the unexpected arrival of Robin, a 3 year old Hispanic/black foster child into the DeLuca family. A child with a fully-formed personality who interacts with the family, develops a strong bond with each member and calls the DeLuca parents mommy and daddy as natural as if they were her own. The story spans 18 months where we watch the family celebrate birthdays and holidays, experience day-to-day family activities as playful as learning how to swim in the family pool to tension-filled, near violent arguments and dramas between neighbors and strangers and children and parents all of which could potentially alter relationships forever – many of those conflicts centering around Robin. The DeLuca’s story reflects the social and political clashes of the time. We see the racism that is present in both the world outside of the DeLucas and within their own family and community. While the DeLuca’s love for Robin develops so deep as to consider the lifelong commitment of adopting her, they never expect the reactions that a mixed race child fosters in their circle of family, friends and neighbors. The main characters include the mother Rosie, a 50 year old Italian/American woman who lives for her husband and children. Her own issues of childhood loss and abandonment complicate her choices as she mothers her own maturing family. The father, Gianni, is a proud 47 year old man who lives for God, country and family. Is Gianni’s allegiance to the New York Yankees and Italian music enough to validate his patriotism and family values? Their three children are Johnny, Christopher and Anna. The 50’s born children are caught between their parent’s WWII generation of unquestioned duty and obedience and the Vietnam War generation of questioning authority and maintaining suspicion. And, of course, Robin. We watch Robin, a rejected, innocent interloper, expose the DeLucas to a sobering new world of conflict that they never knew existed right in their own backyard - along with an unconditional love and acceptance that even they didn’t know they were capable of.
