A short documentary that lists the reasons why more physical education time could benefit today’s youth both physically and mentally. Artist's statement: "Our school does not offer enough gym time, so I decided to make a video on why we should have more gym and the benefits of more gym. My friends and I really enjoy physical education, since it is fun, teaches us to work with others, and it gives us time to stay physically fit and healthy. I hope the audience will agree that more gym will be better after watching my video."

A short film about two friends who argue when one blames the other without really thinking things through. Artist's Statement: "We first wanted to make a movie about bullies and randomness.

People who watch our movie should think and get proof before they blame someone."
