Film Description:

I’ve been playing video games for over 30 years.
This video is a love letter to the games and moments that stayed with me, the ones that shaped how I think, feel, and create.
From early pixel worlds to modern cinematic experiences, it’s a personal timeline of growing up with games always present in the background.
It’s not a ranking, not a history lesson, and not about skill.
It’s about memory.
Late nights, first wins, impossible levels, iconic characters and the moments that stayed.
A thank you to the developers who built these worlds, and a gift to the gamers who grew up in them.

Film Description:

The official music video for “No One Walks On Water (Anymore)” dives into a steampunk-inspired world of animated whimsy, perfectly reflecting the inventive sound of BarIng All’s debut album, There Goes My Compass. Gears turn, airships drift, and surreal mechanical seas shimmer beneath a clockwork sky. Through this dreamlike landscape, a lone wanderer searches for meaning in a world where faith and fantasy collide. Playful yet profound, the video captures the essence of losing direction — and finding wonder in the process.

Original Film Title: Nothing to See Here: Watts

Director’s Name: Michael Soenen

Writer’s Name: Michael Soenen

Producer: Michael Soenen, Todd Lieberman

Country of Origin: United States

Country of Filming: United States

Language: English

Runtime: 1 hour 30 minutes

Film Description:

What happens when an outsider rides with police officers through Watts, a 2.1 square mile neighborhood in South Los Angeles, long known as one of the most violent and divided communities in the country? That night, he witnessed shootings, murders, and heartbreak. He went home, just five miles away, waiting to see the story on the news. There was nothing. No coverage. No mention.

Shocked by the silence, looking for answers, he asked more than 200 people to film their lives, using nothing but the iPhones he gave them; 20 said yes. Among them were rival gang members, police officers, community activists, victims, and survivors. For the next three years, they opened their world to the camera, sharing their community as never before, and in the process, the incredible happened.

Nothing to See Here: Watts flips the traditional storytelling model upside down in a first-of-its-kind documentary created “by” the community – not “about” the community – shattering viewers’ preconceived notions of this marginalized, misrepresented, and misunderstood community.

Created by students, rival gang members, police officers, victims of violent crime, and community activists, with contributions from more than 300 community members – this documentary is an incredibly raw, authentic, and narratively unique experience as former rivals become filmmakers – navigating mistrust, moral judgments, and the complex realities of their community.

The film challenges audiences to confront their preconceived notions of Watts—and similar communities—rewriting the script on who gets to tell their stories and how, demonstrates that extraordinary outcomes can be achieved when those most marginalized and overlooked are empowered.

With an original score that pays tribute to more than 50 years of Watts’ rich musical history, featuring a choir of children from Watts’ four major housing developments, the message to the viewer is clear – if those least educated, least resourced, and with the most reasons to hate the other can find a path forward, we can too.
