A Family Portrait
A family portrait goes horribly wrong as jealousy and suspicion bubble to the surface under the photographer's relentless gaze. As the session reaches a disturbing conclusion, it's clear that this truly will be a day to remember.

Fast Forward Little Red Riding Hood
Everybody knows the fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood. Or we think we do. What happened in actual fact? Sjaak Rood recaps the story with all its gory details. Fast forward is no exaggeration, because the story flashes by at a punishing pace, in an animation that lasts for ninety seconds. The seemingly scribbled black-and-white line drawings emphasise the tempo of the story, without omitting the slightest detail.
