Country of Origin: Thailand
Country of Filming: Thailand
Language: English
Runtime: 4 minutes 39 seconds
Film Description:
Our world is busy, lonely, and exhausting.
It is so common for us to go through a rough day, come home and lay on our bed with tears and sweats, then simply complain to ourselves, “ugh, what a day”.
Have you ever thought about, what if everyday in your life is considered a “what a day” does it mean that it eventually piles up and results in an unfulfilling, frustrating, tiring life?
Sometimes, we all feel like we need a big change, or to simply give up. But giving up also means to give up all the colorful, intriguing elements around you. However, simultaneously those colors might also be the roots for our sadness in the first place.
Should we choose to live in the moment, or to look at the big picture? Should we complain about life for the energy it sucks away from us, or to only appreciate the colors within? This animation I made serves as an exploration of those concepts, and hopefully can guide you into making your own decision.

Original Film Title: Fellini Mastorna…a film of no return
Director’s Name: Jennifer Glee Foley
Writer’s Name: Federico Wardal
Producer: Jennifer Glee Foley
Country of Origin: United States
Country of Filming: United States
Language: English
Runtime: 25 minutes 6 seconds
Film Description:
Legendary Italian Filmmaker Federico Fellini never made a film he had been commissioned to do in the 1960’s entitled ‘The Journey of G. Mastorna.’ The new short film ‘Fellini Mastorna…a film of no return’ finds Fellini’s actor muse Federico Wardal as the Fortune Teller/Ghost as well as the young actor who is mute and vulnerable and new. The film is a new, fresh tribute to Fellini . It is made in the United States and has an international resonance with the constant attempts within the manifestation of Self and Mask to penetrate to what is, is not, could be, couldn’t be or could be both or even more.
The film is its own ‘vision,’ its own ‘projection’ of the Self, the Mask, the Person, and the Mirror. The Mirror is ever-present, it penetrates the Camera, it is dangerous, as it was for Dorian Gray, Narcissus, and all who have looked into it and seen their ‘own image…covered by the Actor’s Mask…But the mirror is behind the mask and shows his (their) true face…’ –Carl Gustav Jung in _’Archetypes and the collective unconscious.’
The ‘invisible’ governs ‘Fellini Mastorna…a film of no return;’ it is the ‘mystery’ behind the movie. Its music is other-worldly, suggestive of other realms that are not within reach in the diurnal. The silent film tableau brings the film into the discussion of the Avantgarde in cinema; even the camera in the film belonged to silent film star Rudolph Valentino.
