Starring Kim Klasner

Produced by Bottle Tree Pictures & Zero Aperture Films

Following the crash of her ship on a distant planet, a dying clone, Ana finds herself trapped and dying inside the ship meant to protect her. When her comms light up with a cry for help, she discovers that one of her sisters, Olive, was reactivated without memories in a torn apart section of the ship only a few miles away. For the first time in the long history of her multiple lives, Ana is faced with someone who isn't her, doesn't have her memories, and can't understand. Ana must convince this woman to end the short, fresh life she's been given to overwrite her memories with Olive's so that she can save Ana, her sisters, and the entire project they've spent generations working towards.

JOSH SIMPSON - A GLASS BLOWER | Short Film, 2022

A Film by Dylan Law

“I’ve made my whole life out of trying to use fire and heat to melt sand and soda ash and lime, just minerals you can mine out of the earth - and When they’re mixed together, you could leave them for hundreds of years and they’ll never change. but if you add 2,300 degrees of heat it makes this unbelievably beautiful material that flows, and drips like honey. “

Dylan Law follows world renowned glass artist josh simpson for a ride along in his western Massachusetts studio - gaining insight into how this master craftsman sees his work, as well as a look behind the scenes into his unique approach to working with material.
