Everything After Everything After

Everything After

In 'Everything After', we follow Mark, a struggling artist who falls deeply in love with Kate, but soon he finds that his pursuits of love and passion are on a collision course that’s all too familiar to any millennial in a creative industry. What happens if you let the dream take over your life? Are you willing to dig deeper? Are you happy? True art comes from the heart and that’s exactly what this self-funded micro-budget film haemorrhages.

FROM TRASH TO TREASURE: turning negatives into positives in Lesotho

From erosion to overgrazing to enduring poverty, the people of Lesotho—a highland country surrounded by South Africa—face a variety of difficult challenges. Yet grassroots communities in the country also exhibit tremendous resourcefulness and creativity. In particular, a wealth of artists have mastered a talent for resurrection, developing the skill to creatively turn negatives into positives: Designers who turn discarded trash into beautiful jewelry, clothes, rugs. Filmmakers who turn tragedy into artistic expressions of resilience and compassion. Musicians who write songs to save the environment. In this short, Cultures of Resistance Films profiles a variety of these inventive creators, introducing viewers to a fascinating cast of local residents who are using art as a means of communicating a communal desire for positive change.

The Beehive The Beehive

The Beehive

When peat-cutter Barry Drone tries to woo the widow Betty Queen, landlady of The Beehive Inn, he finds Mrs. Queen very unresponsive to his love-making. In order to be near Betty, he spends every afternoon and evening in The Beehive. Fast becoming financially insolvent (and addicted to Mrs. Queen's real ale), he enlists the aid of wayfarer Ben Wasp. Barry devises that Ben, pretending to be a burglar, should break into The Beehive after hours. Drone hiding in the garden, hearing Betty Queen scream, would then rush in and knock down Wasp, who'd escape. Ben agrees to the plan on the condition that Barry signs a statement that declares that the whole affair is a joke. The deal is struck, but neither take into account the firm and well-able character of Mrs. Queen who is not easily scared. When Ben breaks into the pub, Mrs. Queen confronts him with a shotgun. Betty locks him in a cupboard and telephones Bert Bumble the local constable. Meanwhile Ben pleads that it is all a joke, and passes the statement under the door. When Mrs. Queen reads that Barry Drone is at root of the going-ons, she decides to teach Drone a lesson. She takes Ben upstairs and fires off her shotgun. Barry Drone in panic breaks into The Beehive. When Mrs. Queen comes down stairs, Drone wants to know what has happened to Wasp. Mrs. Queen says she doesn't know what he is talking about. By the time Constable Bumble has arrived, Drone is convinced that Betty Queen has murdered Wasp and tells Bumble so. But Bumble arrests Drone for breaking into The Beehive, and Mrs. Queen says nothing to make Bumble think otherwise. Bumble takes Drone away. With dawn about to break, Mrs. Queen lets Wasp come down stairs. Pleased with the night's events, she entertains Wasp to breakfast. She is rather taken by Ben's charm and agrees to take a walk with him that evening.
