Our award-winning short film FOXHOLE is now live on Short of the Week.

We filmed this beautiful and tense story in my home state of Virginia and Maryland, and seeing it featured on one of the top platforms for short films is an incredible moment.

Foxhole is an intimate and suspenseful story that we poured everything into. Proud of the entire team that made this happen.

Go watch it and tell us what you think.

"I was reading the newspaper and encountered a powerful anecdote of selflessness and mercy in the face of unfathomable suffering. I didn't feel like it was fair to co-opt their experience, so I tried to imagine how someone else in their orbit might navigate those waters."⁠

Over the years I learned what all the grown-ups were talking about when they said “Giving gifts is better than receiving them”. I live for the moment of the big reveal, when my friends and family get to see their personalized sculpture I’ve been cooking up in my secret workshop. Happy 30th, Nick! 🥳❤️ taken in Los Angeles, California by @dylan_gansen

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! This trip to New York has been the best way to launch heading into my 30’s! On my birthday, I decided to GIVE a 💍gift💍 to the person I love most: Szi Kiat Lee. He’s been instrumental in shaping me into the man I am today. It was amazing celebrating not only my birthday, but our engagement, with friends both new and old in the most wonderful city in the world. Perhaps one day we’ll be able to call this city our home, but tomorrow we’ll be heading back to our special home in Los Angeles. taken in New York City, USA by @dylan_gansen

***No chests were burst in the making of this Alien***
I had so much fun with the Lord of the Rings sculpt, that I had to get started on another one right away. This one is a gift to my friend, and resident Alien Franchise fan, Ethan Hammock ( @eathamistheman ). To those of you who haven’t seen Alien Romulus, this clay sculpture is based on a…dare I say “icky” *gasp*…scene from that film. Excited to start the next one soon! #alienromulus by @dylan_gansen

I rediscovered my interest in clay sculpting with a 2-week long project. As a huge Lord of the Rings fan, I wanted to kick off my return to the medium with what I believe is the most badass creature in the franchise, the Balrog. This was a wonderful excuse to stay away from screens, whether they were 6 inches or 60. You can scroll through these process photos to see me totally wing it, starting with wires and foil, and ending with a fully-painted, 25 pound, bust. Now that I think I have a grasp of this art form, I think I’ll be open to fun requests and commissions 🤔😊 #wetaworkshop by @dylan_gansen

🏔️Jacinto: Over 8k feet in the air overlooking the ever so glorious Palm Springs and Coachella Valley. If you squint, you can see the iconic wind turbines. Before making it back down the mountain to 60F weather, I dipped my foot in some mountain snow to stand in solidarity with my midwestern friends & family braving blizzards this week🫡😘 taken in Mount San Jacinto State Park by @dylan_gansen

Malaysia 🇲🇾 Photo Dump 2/2

Shot on Kodak Pro Image 100 & Kodak Gold 200 film stocks.

Developed @berryflashphotolab

Be warned! Malaysia is 🔥HOT🥵(it sits right on the equator after all). I came with the lightest clothes I owned and it still wasn’t enough. The beauty of the country was a nice distraction though 🙃

If you need to escape the heat, there’s a casino / theme park resort on a mountain literally a mile in the air with the most exceptional views I have ever seen.
