A robot existing in a world of technology is introduced to something new. Something previously unseen. A leaf. The robot’s programmed curiosity leads it along a journey of discovery, coming to love sensations and a life it was never programmed to experience. When faced with its own existence and the dying planet it has come to love, the robot needs to make a choice: protect itself, or save nature? A difficult sacrifice.

Where Did I Come From?
Animation, comedy, 6 minutes
Out of curiosity, teenage Mango, who is part of a fully adopted family, forces their siblings into an impromptu meeting to discuss nonsensical scenarios about their origins – the wild west, outer space, middle of nowhere? The group of four comically banter and argue against the clock before their mother sends them to bed. This film’s overall message revolves around 'found family', and how home is wherever you feel most comfortable and loved.
